Salt the glass. If you'd like a salt-rimmed glass, slice a lime into quarters and rub one of the quarters along the rim of a glass. Spread margarita salt onto a small plate and turn the glass upside down into the salt. The salt should stick to the rim.
Mix it together. To make the margarita, add the tequila, orange liqueur, and lime juice to a cocktail shaker with ice. Give it a few shakes. Alternatively, you can stir all of the ingredients together in a glass.
Serve. Add ice to your glass, then pour the margarita into the glass. Garnish with lime wedges.
- Make sure to use fresh limes for the lime juice and not bottled lime juice. The flavor difference is huge.
- If you're making a large batch and serving margaritas outdoors, I recommend this break resistant pitcher (and it's big!).
