Margaritas on the Rocks
Print Friendly and PDFPrint Friendly
  1. Pour a shot of tequila (I like Jose' Cuervo Gold) about 2 oz. into an ice-filled cocktail mixer or tall glass.
  2. Add about 1 oz of lime juice.  Please measure!
  3. 1/2 oz of Gran Marnier or other orange-flavored liqueur
  4. 1/2 shot (dash) beer (Yes, beer.  This is optional, but if you have an open one on hand, it makes the margarita frothy!)
  5. Cover mixer and give it 9 or 10 shakes.
  6. If you want the rim salted, go ahead and do that now by rubbing the rim of your glass with lime, then swirling it into Kosher salt.
  7. Pour into a glass.
