Ultimate Margarita

Just looking at all the lime juice in this one makes my mouth pucker, but it could easily provide the zip you're looking for in a Super Bowl libation.

Makes 4 servings

• 1 lime, halved
• Kosher salt
• 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice, from about 4 limes
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/4 cup orange-flavored liqueur (such as Grand Marnier)
• 1/4 cup triple sec
• 1 cup gold tequila
• Ice
• 1/2 can good-quality lager-style beer
• Lime wheels, for garnish

To salt the margarita glasses, rub the outside rims of 4 big glasses with a cut lime and press the glasses lightly into a plate of kosher salt, to coat rims. Combine the lime juice, sugar, orange liqueur, triple sec, tequila and a big handful of ice in a cocktail shaker (or blender).

Shake the margarita really well, for a good 20 seconds, add a splash of beer and strain into the salt-rimmed glasses filled with ice. Garnish with a lime wheel.
