Juicy Peach Margaritas

2 ounces Grand Marnier
1½ ounces Tequila
2 ounces lime juice
2½ ounces peach simple syrup (recipe below)
lime + chopped peaches for garnish
salt + sugar for the rim

Rim the ridge of your glass with a lime wedge and dip in a mix of margarita salt and sugar (we used about 3 tablespoons salt to 2 teaspoons sugar). Fill the glass with ice. In a cocktail shaker, combine tequila, grand marnier, simple syrup and lime juice with ice, and shake for about 30 seconds. Pour over ice, squeeze in lime slices and add a few peach chunks.
Yields: 1 margarita

For peach simple syrup:
Combine equal parts sugar and water, bring to a boil and let sugar dissolve, then turn off heat and let cool completely. Combine 1 cup simple syrup and 3 peeled and chopped peaches in a blender and blend until combined. This makes enough simple syrup for 3-4 margaritas.
