Hemingway's Tropical Bar & Grill, in the historic downtown Marietta Square, features food and beverage in a relaxing "Key West atmosphere." Patrick Burke of Hemingway's recommends using a "good old-fashioned plastic cup with ice [no need for fancy drinkware here]. The frosty cold feeling on your hands is part of the margarita experience." A shot glass is useful for measuring, with a shot equal to 1 1/2 ounces.

2 1/2 tablespoons gold tequila (1 1/4 ounces)
3 tablespoons Triple Sec (1 1/2 ounces)
Splash of Cointreau or other orange liqueur
1/4 cup orange juice
1/2 cup sour mix
Lime juice

Fill a 16-ounce glass with ice. Add tequila, Triple Sec and orange liqueur. Fill balance of cup with orange juice and sour mix. Add a splash of lime juice. Shake or stir well.
