Margarita Sunrise
from Southern Living

Prep: 10 min.

Make any size batch of this recipe by simply multiplying the ingredient measurements by the desired number of servings. For larger batches, stir together all ingredients in a pitcher until powdered sugar is dissolved. Chill and serve over ice. For a sweeter drink, use 1/2 cup powdered sugar instead of 1/3 cup.

Fresh lime wedge (optional)

Margarita salt (optional)

1/3 cup fresh lime juice*

3 tablespoons orange liqueur

3 tablespoons orange juice

2 tablespoons tequila

1/3 to 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Ice

3 tablespoons club soda or lemon-lime soft drink

2 teaspoons grenadine

1. Rub rim of a chilled margarita glass with lime wedge, and dip rim in salt to coat, if desired.
2. Pour lime juice, liqueur, orange juice, tequila, and powdered sugar over ice in a cocktail shaker. Cover with lid, and shake until thoroughly chilled. Strain into prepared glass. Add club soda or lemon-lime soft drink for a little fizz, if desired. Top with grenadine. Serve immediately.

*1/3 cup thawed frozen limeade concentrate may be substituted for fresh lime juice. Omit powdered sugar, and proceed with recipe as directed.
