This cocktail choice was a no-brainer default! Day 33 was Cinco de Mayo, which meant two things: Tex-Mex and margaritas. Jeremy made a (fairly large) pitcher of margaritas and we ordered tacos for takeout and grabbed some plasticware. It happened to be a perfect evening with high clouds and a nice breeze to meet up with friends at White Rock Lake for a socially distanced picnic. As the sun set across the lake, we shared wedges of chilled watermelon. Now let’s acknowledge the elephant in the room: orange juice in a margarita. Jeremy has always added a little OJ for depth of flavor and swears by it for a perfect ’rita!
How to make:
16 ounces Camarena blanco tequila
8 ounces Grand Marnier
3 ounces agave syrup
12 ounces lime juice
4 ounces orange juice
Pour all the ingredients in a pitcher with ice and stir well. Pour into an ice-filled highball glass (or plastic tumbler … you do you). If you want to add some extra flavor: add salt to the rim.
