Description

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup coarse sugar (I use cake decorating sugar)
• 1/4 cup margarita or Kosher salt
• Zest from one lemon
• 2 oz frozen lemonade concentrate
• 2 oz cold water
• 2 oz Orange Liqueur
• 3 oz Blanco or Silver Tequila
• 2 oz Limoncello
• 1/2 oz Simple Syrup (heat 1/2 cup of water with one cup of sugar until sugar dissolves. Add 1/2 cup of ice and stir until melted. Store leftover syrup in fridge)
• Zest from one lemon
• Lemon Slices

Directions

• Combine the sugar, salt & lemon zest. Spread on a cookie sheet in a thin layer and allow to dry. (You can rim the cocktail before it is dry but if storing any leftovers; leave it out until completely dry to the touch).
• Rub the rim of a cocktail glass with lemon and dip into the lemon salt/sugar mixture.
• Fill the glass with crushed ice (I put ice into a plastic bag, cover it with a cloth and pound it with a meat mallet!)
• Pour the cocktail ingredients into a cocktail shaker and fill the shaker with ice; cover and shake until the container is ice cold.
• Pour the mixture into the ice filled glasses and garnish each with a lemon slice.
