There is something magical about a well made margarita; it just soothes the soul. Just 3 simple ingredients, and quality matters!

2 oz. Blanco Tequila (100% Agave only)
1 oz.  Orange Liqueur (Cointreau is best but Grand Mariner or Triple Sec will work)
1 oz. Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice

Rim a glass with either Kosher Salt or Sea Salt. In a cocktail shaker with ice add the Tequila, Orange Liqueur and Lime Juice.  Shake well and strain into a glass with fresh ice.  Garnish with a lime wheel.  Cheers!

If you are making margaritas for a crowd, juice the limes ahead of time, but make the drinks to order for best results.

If you like a sweeter drink, you could add a splash of fresh squeezed orange juice, agave syrup or simple syrup. But don’t over-do the sweet stuff!
