INGREDIENTS

  • 1 fluid ounce premium tequila
  • 3/4 fluid ounce brandy-based orange liqueur (such as Grand Marnier®)
  • 3/4 fluid ounce cointreau
  • 3/4 fluid ounce simple syrup
  • 1 fluid ounce raspberry flavored liqueur
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1/2 cup sweet and sour mix

DIRECTIONS

  1. Salt the rims of 2 large margarita glasses. To do so, pour salt onto a small plate, moisten the rims of the glasses on a damp towel and press them into the salt.
  2. In a cocktail mixer 3/4 full of ice, combine tequila, Grand Marnier, cointreau, simple syrup, raspberry liqueur and lime juice. Pour in sweet and sour until ice is covered. Shake vigorously and strain into glass.
