Grilled-Citrus Margaritas
- 3 limes, halved crosswise
- 3 lemons, halved crosswise
- 1 lime wedge
- Kosher salt
- Ice
- 12 ounces silver tequila
- 4 1/2 ounces simple syrup (see Note)
- 6 orange twists, for garnish
- Light a grill.
- Grill the halved limes and lemons over high heat, cut side down, until lightly charred and juicy, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer to a plate to cool.
- Juice the limes into one measuring cup, and juice the lemons into another measuring cup; you should have about 4 ounces of each juice.
- Using the lime wedge, moisten half of the outer rim of 6 rocks or margarita glasses and coat lightly with salt, then fill each glass with ice.
- Fill a pitcher with ice and add the tequila, simple syrup and 3 ounces each of the lime and lemon juices.
- Stir well and strain into the prepared glasses.
- Using tongs and working with one at a time, hold an orange twist directly over the flame until just singed around the edges.
- Garnish the margaritas with the flamed twists and serve.
