Ingredients
- Finely grated lime zest
- Coarse kosher salt
- Lime slice or wedge
- 2 ounces top-shelf tequila (recommended: Cuervo Gold or anejo tequila)
- 1-ounce orange-flavored liqueur (recommended: Grand Marnier or Cointreau)
- 1 1/2 ounces lime juice, or more, to taste
- 1 1/2 cups ice cubes
Directions
In a small shallow bowl or rimmed saucer combine the lime zest and salt and mix well. Run the lime slice around the rim of a stemmed, wide mouthed glass to moisten it, then turn the glass upside down and press the rim in the salt mixture. Set glass aside.
In a cocktail shaker combine all remaining ingredients and shake well to chill. Strain into the prepared glass and serve immediately.

A classic margarita. The perfect partner for tequila marinated steaks or other Mexican fare.

Easy and simple, this is a great margarita. Sometimes they can be too sweet or sour. I also picked up a great tip from a bartender in Arizona, add a little sprite or 7-up to give it an extra kick.
