Ingredients
1/3 cup sugar
12 ounces tequila, chilled
1 cup fresh lime juice, chilled (from about 8 limes), plus 2 limes, cut into wedges, for serving
4 teaspoons orange-flavored liqueur, chilled
Kosher or rimming salt, for serving
Directions
Special equipment:
an ice cream maker- Combine the sugar and 1/3 cup water in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Let cool completely.
- Whisk together the tequila, lime juice, cooled sugar syrup, orange liqueur and 1 cup cold water in a medium bowl. Freeze until slushy in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions, about 45 minutes (see Cook's Note). Transfer the frozen margaritas to a chilled pitcher. Store in the freezer until ready to serve.
- Fill a small plate with an even layer of salt. Moisten the rims of 4 chilled rocks or wine glasses and press into the salt to rim the edges. Divide the margaritas among the glasses. Serve with lime wedges.
