Ingredients
- 2 oz tequila (reposado)
- 1 oz fresh squeezed lime juice
- 1/2 oz Cointreau
- 2 tbls sugar
- Ice
- Sea salt (light & fluffy) (optional)
Directions
- Measure out tequila, lime juice, and Cointreau. Add to shaker. Mix in sugar and stir to dissolve. Add ice and shake well. Strain over salt-rimmed glass filled with fresh ice. Discard the bruised, distressed ice from the shaker.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- I like the taste of tequila, so this recipe lets the flavor come through. Pick a nice reposado.
- Same goes for the triple sec. Cointrea is always a good choice as it’s the original. There are a couple of other good ones too, but steer clear of anything labeled ‘margarita mix’.
- Keep the 2-to-1 tequila-to-lime ratio the same. Adjust the sugar and Cointreau if you prefer your margaritas sweeter or more sour, respectively.
