Sunny Grove Citrus Margarita

There's nothing quite like a perfectly balanced margarita to bring the party to life, and this Sunny Grove version layers fresh lime and orange together for a bright, zesty sip that feels both classic and a little special. I love making a big batch of these for gatherings because the homemade citrus base genuinely blows bottled mixes out of the water. Grab a good blanco tequila and some coarse salt, and you're about five minutes away from something seriously refreshing.

Ingredients

• 8 oz blanco tequila
• 4 oz triple sec or Cointreau
• 4 oz fresh lime juice (about 6 limes)
• 2 oz fresh orange juice
• 1 oz agave nectar
• 1 pinch fine sea salt
• coarse salt for rimming glasses
• lime wheels for garnish
• 2 cups ice cubes

Directions

1. Run a lime wedge around the rim of each glass, then dip the rims in coarse salt spread on a small plate and set glasses aside.
2. In a large cocktail shaker or pitcher, combine the tequila, triple sec, lime juice, orange juice, agave nectar, and fine sea salt.
3. Add the ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for about 20 seconds until the outside of the shaker feels very cold.
4. Fill each salted glass with fresh ice, then strain the margarita mixture evenly over the ice in all four glasses.
5. Garnish each glass with a lime wheel on the rim and serve immediately while cold.
