For grown-ups only. This recipe is my closest attempt at duplicating the awesome flavor of a cold margarita. It's sweet, tart, salty, and packs a punch. Garnish each serving with a lime wedge. You seriously only need one of these.

  • 1 package lemon-flavored gelatin mix , 3 ounce
  • 2.5 cups boiling water
  • 1.67 cups premium tequila
  • 0.67 cups triple sec
  • 0.67 cups brandy-based orange liqueur , such as Grand Marnier®
  • 0.5 cups sweetened lime juice
  • 2 cups sparkling water
  • 1 lime , zested
  • 1 pinch margarita salt , or as needed

Instructions
