Coral Reef 'Rita margaritas
Adapted by BumbleBeeBoogie

This is a mildly fruity on-the-rocks margarita.

1-1/2 ounces Margaritaville gold tequila (1 shot)
3/4 ounce Triple Sec (1/2 shot)
1/3 cup sweet and sour mix
1/3 cup cranberry juice
3/4 ounce Grand Marnier (1/2 shot)
wedge of lime

Optional
Margarita salt (for rim of glass): If you want salt on the rim of your glass, moisten the rim of a 16-ounce mug (or glass) and dip it in margarita salt.

To make the drink, fill the glass with ice.

Add a shot of tequila, a half shot of Triple Sec, then some sweet and sour mix and cranberry juice (in equal amounts, about 1/3 cup each) to within one-half inch of the top of the glass. Stir.

Splash a half-shot of Grand Marnier on the top of the drink. Add a wedge of lime and serve with a straw.
