Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.
Strain into Glass
Strain the mixture into the prepared margarita glass filled with fresh ice.
Finishing Touch
Add the Float
Carefully pour 0.5 oz of Grand Marnier over the back of a spoon onto the top of the margarita to create a float.
