Simple and perfect! Unfortunately, I ran out of tequila and couldn't make more. ;)

There`s nothing like a Margarita made with fresh lime juice! I used Grand Marnier for the orange liqueur.

Excellent! Simple, fresh and strong . . . . Just how we love our margaritas! If you don't like them so strong, just cut back on the tequila. Otherwisw, don't change a thing.
