Experience the Ultimate Margarita Delight

Servings: 2 | Time: 5 minutes

1 tablespoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon Tajín or 1/2 teaspoon chili powder

3 lime wedges

Ice

4.5ounces (9 tablespoons) tequila

3 ounces (6 tablespoons) Cointreau, Triple Sec, or Grand Marnier

3 ounces (6 tablespoons) freshly squeezed lime juice

Preparation Steps

Let’s get started with our refreshing margarita! Begin by mixing the salt and chili powder on a small plate with edges. Grab one of the lime wedges and gently rub it along the rim of each glass. Next, dip the glass rims into the salt mixture for that extra kick!

Now, fill the glasses about two-thirds with ice to keep your drinks chilled and refreshing. In a mixing pitcher, combine the tequila, Cointreau, and freshly pressed lime juice. For those who enjoy a good shake, transfer the mixture into a cocktail shaker along with some large ice cubes and shake it until everything feels impossibly cold!

Carefully pour the drink over the ice in your prepared glasses, ensuring not to disturb the lovely salt rim. To top it all off, garnish each glass with the remaining lime wedges for a zesty finish!

Enjoy your vibrant margaritas—they're sure to be a hit at any gathering!

Tips & Tricks

This fantastic 3:2:2 ratio for your margaritas—tequila, orange liqueur, and lime juice—makes it easy to scale up for parties. A full bottle of tequila (750 ml) equates to just over 3 cups, so when you’re ready to serve a crowd, remember to add 2 cups of lime juice and 2 cups of your chosen orange liqueur.
