Margaritas

This is one of those super refreshing summer cocktails with a kick! It's quite potent though so feel free to add a splash of orange juice to dilute it if it tastes too strong!
1 thin slice jalapeno
1/3 C fresh lime juice 
1 tsp extra fine sugar
2 C tequila
1 C Grand Marnier
1 C orange juice (optional)
Mix all the ingredients together in a blender. Pour into a pitcher over ice, and chill for an hour or so before serving with ice in salt rimmed glasses. 

This margarta looks wonderful garnished with some celery sticks and with a twist of lime.
