Notes
I recommend using freshly squeezed juice in this recipe -- it really makes a huge difference in the flavor!
I used Grand Marnier, but you could also use Cointreau or triple sec.
You can substitute the Citrus Liqueur and Lime juice for 2 ounces of pre-made margarita mix if you have some on hand.
For a bubbly margarita, add a splash of club soda or blood orange-flavored sparkling water or seltzer.
