• Place the citrus pieces into a large blender container. Add simple syrup and stir well. You can prepare ahead up to this step, cover and refrigerate for a few hours.
• Before serving add Cointreau, Tequila and ice cubes. Replace lid on the blender and pulse on low for a few times. Do not over blend!
• You can use more Tequila if you prefer it stronger. We kept it light for an early dinner.

To serve:

• Pour a thin layer salt onto a plate. Use lime wedge to moisten the top of each glass and then dip them in the salt.
• Fill each glass with the Margarita mixture and garnish with the thinly sliced orange and lime slices.
• Cheers!
