  1. 2 oz tequila (reposado)
  2. 1 oz fresh squeezed lime juice
  3. 1/2 oz Cointreau
  4. 2 tbls sugar
  5. Ice
  6. Sea salt (light & fluffy) (optional)

Directions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
