1 ounce orange liqueur, such as Triple Sec, Cointreau, or Grand-Marnier
1/2 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
Plenty of kosher or flake salt for glass, optional
Ice cubes, optional
Lime wedges for garnish, optional
Directions
Pour some kosher salt into a wide bowl or small dish. Take a wedge of lime and generously rub it around the rim of your glass. Dip the rim into the salt.
Fill the glass with some fresh ice and set aside. (Skip the ice if you like your margarita straight up.
Place the tequila, orange liqueur, and lime juice in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake for 10 seconds, and then strain into a prepared cocktail glass. Garnish with a lemon wedge if desired.
