Steps:
- Preheat a grill on medium-high heat. Slice 2 of the limes and 1 of the lemons into rounds. Set aside.
- Cut the oranges and the remaining 6 limes and 4 lemons in half crosswise. Pour 3/4 cup of the sugar in a bowl. Dip the cut side of each fruit in the sugar to lightly coat.
- Grill the sugared fruit over medium-high heat until caramelized with char marks. When cool enough to handle, use a fork or citrus reamer to juice the grilled citrus. There should be about 2 cups of grilled citrus juice.
- Stir the remaining 1/2 cup sugar into the juice and add the tequila, stirring to combine. Refrigerate until chilled.
- When ready to serve, pour the drink mix into a large pitcher of ice. Add the sliced citrus rounds and serve over ice in glasses rimmed with sugar.
CITRUS MARGARITA
A fresh tasting margarita! If I am using a premium tequila, I don't salt the rim since I think it takes away from the flavor of the tequila.

WHOLE LIME MARGARITA
Made with thin-skinned limes, these margaritas are bright and flavorful-nothing reminiscent of a bottled mix! The lime rind adds beautiful color and a burst of tart, but not overly sweet, taste. You'll never make a margarita the old way again.

Steps:
- Use a juicing machine for the oranges, lemon and lime. Whisk the juice with the sugar to dissolve then stir in the Cointreau, triple sec and tequila. In a blender, blend the juice mix with 3 cups of ice for about a minute or so then add another 3 cups of ice. Continue to blend until smooth, about 2 minutes. Serve in frosted margarita glasses rimmed with salt, if desired. Farm freshness is the key here. Look for the citrus that is most in season and adjust the recipe. Tangerine, Meyer Lemons and Key Limes all have amazing flavor if you can find them.
