Notes
- If you don’t have a shaker, use a large Mason jar and lid to mix the ingredients.- This recipe makes one margarita, but can easily be multiplied for larger groups!- For a non-alcoholic version of this drink, just omit the tequila and Grand Marnier.- Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor.
