This Outback margarita selection will handily quench, soothe and ring the bell in your clock tower - just what the doctor ordered at the end of a busy day. A mildly fruity on-the-rocks margarita is powerful ammunition in any home bartenders arsenal of party cocktails. I like tequila. Tequila is my friend. But watch yourself. If you get to the bottom of too many of these tasty pink drinks you might feel like a used pinata in the morning.
1 1/4 ounces Margaritaville gold tequila (1 shot)
3/4 ounce triple sec
3 ounces (approx. 1/3 cup) cup sweet and sour mix
3 ounces (approx. 1/3 cup) cranberry juice
3/4 ounce Grand Marnier
wedge of lime

Optional
margarita salt (for rim of glass)

1. If you want salt on the rim of your glass, moisten the rim of a 16-ounce mug (or glass) and dip it in margarita salt. 

2. To make the drink, fill the glass with ice.

3. Add the tequila, triple sec, then some sweet and sour mix and cranberry juice (in equal amounts -- about 1/3 cup each should do it) to within a half-inch of the top of the glass. Stir.

4. Splash a half shot of Grand Marnier over the top of the drink. 

5. Add a wedge of lime and serve with a straw.

Makes 1 serving.

I'm not a lover of sweet cocktails, however this one is on the border of being excellent...
