Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Freshly squeezed lime juice makes a significant difference. Adjust the amount of simple syrup to your preferred level of sweetness. Taste as you go! For a less sweet margarita, reduce the amount of sweet and sour mix. If you don't have Grand Marnier, you can substitute another high-quality orange liqueur. Chilling your glasses beforehand will keep your margarita colder for longer.

01
StepPrepare the Margarita Glasses: (2 minutes) Salt the rims of two large margarita glasses. Spread a thin layer of kosher salt on a small plate. Moisten the rims of the glasses with a lime wedge or a damp towel, then gently press them into the salt to coat evenly.
02
StepCombine Ingredients in Shaker: (3 minutes) Fill a cocktail shaker approximately 3/4 full with ice cubes. Add the premium tequila, Grand Marnier, Cointreau, simple syrup, raspberry liqueur, and freshly squeezed lime juice to the shaker.
03
StepAdd Sweet and Sour Mix: (1 minute) Pour in the sweet and sour mix until the ice is just covered. This ensures the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness.
04
StepShake Vigorously: (1 minute) Seal the cocktail shaker tightly and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds. This chills the mixture thoroughly and properly dilutes the ingredients, resulting in the ideal Margarita texture.
05
StepStrain and Serve: (1 minute) Strain the margarita mixture into the prepared, salt-rimmed glasses filled with ice. Garnish with a lime wedge or a few fresh raspberries for an extra touch of elegance. Serve immediately and enjoy responsibly!
