Grand Margarita
Tequila, Grand Marnier and fresh lime, shaken and strained into a rocks glass.
Go to the recipe ↓The Grand Margarita is tequila, Grand Marnier and fresh lime juice, shaken with ice and strained into a rocks glass. The two published versions differ in balance. IBA's uses only those three ingredients, with more Grand Marnier than lime, and starts with a sea-salt rim. Campari Academy's uses equal measures of Grand Marnier and lime, adds a smaller measure of agave nectar, calls for reposado tequila and makes the salt rim optional.
