Kay's Margaritas!!! They are based on the ones by Rick Bayless in one
of his earlier books...

But here is Kay's recipe...

The recipe given here is modified from one in _Mexican Kitchen_ by
Rick Bayless. Rick Bayless calls it Frontera's Gold Margaritas. I
won't because it isn't anymore.

Margarita

1 2/3 cup Sauza Comemorativo tequila
1/4 cup Grand Marnier
1/2 cup lime juice
1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
1/4 cup sugar
Lime wedges
Coarse salt

1. Steeping the margarita mixture. Mix the tequila, Grand
Marnier, lime juice, lime zest, and sugar in a glass or plastic
pitcher until the sugar dissolves. Cover and refrigerate at least
2 hours (but no more than 24 hours). Strain into another pitcher.

2. Finishing and serving the margaritas. Rub the rims of 8 6- to
8-ounce glasses with a lime wedge, then dip the rims in a dish of
coarse salt. Serve the margaritas on the rocks in the prepared
glasses.
