What each ingredient does

Tequila: Provides the spirit base and the main agave flavour of the drink.
Grand marnier: Adds orange-liqueur sweetness and aroma that complements the lime.
Fresh lime juice: Adds acidity that balances the sweetness and brightens the flavour.
Sugar: Adds sweetness that softens the sourness of the lime juice.
