Ingredients

2 ounces tequila
1 ounce Cointreau
1 ounce fresh lime juice
.5 - 1 ounce Grand Marnier
Edible gold leaf for garnish optional

Instructions

Add tequila, Cointreau, and lime juice to a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
Shake well.
Strain the mixture over fresh ice in a margarita glass with a salted rim.
Float the Grand Marnier by pouring it onto the top of the drink over an inverted spoon.
Garnish with lime wedges and edible gold leaf, serve, and enjoy.

Notes

When pouring the drink into the margarita glass, make sure that the liquid won’t touch the salted rim. This way, the salt won’t accidentally get washed into the cocktail before you drink it.
When serving guests, instead of pouring the Grand Marnier yourself, just serve it on the side. This will give your guests the unique experience of pouring the orange liquor into the drink themselves and watching it turn gold.
Stir the drink as the Grand Marnier settles to ensure a balanced flavor.
