Author Notes: With some wonderful tequila cream butter left from this past week of course I wanted to try it out with burgers. I added a touch of tequila and Cointreau to the final cooking minute of grilling the burgers. - Sagegreen

Serves 4

1 pound excellent quality ground beef
3-4 tablespoons fresh grated ginger
2 teaspoons fresh lime zest
1 teaspoon fresh orange zest
pinch of kosher salt
pinch of fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon flat leaf parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon tequila
2 teaspoons Cointreau or triple sec
Serve with homemade tequila butter on top (see my other recipe)

Prepare your grill.
Mix the beef with the herbs and spices and form a patty.
Grill 2-4 minutes per side. I prefer very quick on a hot grill.
Mix the tequila and Cointreau together. Spoon carefully onto the burgers during the last minute of grilling.
Top with a garnish of homemade tequila lime and orange zest butter-whipped from heavy whipping cream (recipe included with my ginger swordfish).
