Ingredients
The Mexican Standoff is made with three simple ingredients: tequila, orange liqueur, and lime juice. You can use any type of tequila you like, but a good quality silver tequila is recommended. For the orange liqueur, you can use either Cointreau or Grand Marnier. Finally, you will need freshly squeezed lime juice.
Instructions
To make the Mexican Standoff, start by filling a shaker with ice. Add two ounces of tequila, one ounce of orange liqueur, and one ounce of freshly squeezed lime juice. Shake the ingredients together until they are well combined.
Strain the mixture into a rocks glass filled with ice. Garnish with a lime wedge and serve.
