Ingredients

  • 3 ounces of freshly squeezed lime juice extracted from handpicked limes for a tangy and refreshing flavor

  • 8 ounces of a meticulously prepared sweet and sour mix expertly blending the sweetness of fine sugar with the tang of citrus for a harmonious taste sensation
  • 3 ounces of meticulously crafted 1800 Reposado tequila aged to perfection for a smooth and refined taste
  • 1 ounce of premium Grand Marnier adding a luxurious and velvety touch to the drink

Instructions

  • Shake the mixture vigorously for 30 seconds so that everything is combined.

- For a non-alcoholic version of this drink, just omit the tequila and Grand Marnier.
- Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor.
