Grilled Cocktails And A Smoky Margarita Recipe

1. 1

   Dip the sliced citrus in a bowl of sugar so they have a light coating. Grill the citrus on medium high heat until they have char marks. Let them rest until they are cool enough to be juiced.

2. 2

   Fill your margarita pitcher halfway full of ice, then add the tequila and triple sec. Add the juice to the ice/tequila mixture. By adding it to ice, it will help cut the tartness of the citrus.

3. 3

   Add the simple syrup in small batches until the proper sweetness is achieved.

4. 4

   Enjoy your first smoky margarita that goes great with grilled foods, specifically my chili lime skirt steak fajitas!
