Skylands Margarita



Martha Stewart Living

Makes 6 servings

    2 tablespoons Lime Simple Syrup                                
    Salt                                                           
    1 lime cut to 6 wedges                                         
    1 3/4 cups tequila                                             
    1/4 cup cointreau                                              
    1/4 cup grand marnier                                          
    1/4 cup lime juice 
                                            

Pour salt into a shallow dish large enough to fit the rim of the glasses you are using. Using 1 lime wedge per glass, rub each rim. Dip the rim of each glass in the salt, and rotate gently to cover the rim evenly. Place a lime wedge in each glass; set aside.

Fill the jar of a blender three-quarters full with ice cubes. Pour the tequila, Cointreau, Grand Marnier, lime juice, and 2 tablespoons simple syrup over the ice. Begin blending on low, and then increase the speed to high, until the ice is very finely chopped and the mixture is frothy. Taste for sweetness, adding simple syrup if necessary. Blend a few seconds more, and pour into the salt-rimmed glasses. Serve immediately.
