Ingredients

  • kosher salt
  • 1.5 ounces reposado tequila
  • 1.5 ounces Grand Marnier liqueur see notes
  • 1.5 ounces lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 ounce simple simple syrup or agave nectar
  • lime wedge for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Run a wedge of lime around the rim of your glass. Spread about 1 tablespoon of kosher salt onto a small plate or shallow bowl. Dip the juice-moistened rim of the glass into the salt, creating a salt rim.
  • Add ice to the glass and set aside.
  • Add a handful of ice to a cocktail shaker. Add reposado tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice, and simple syrup. Seal the shaker and shake until very cold.
  • Strain the margarita into the prepared glass.
  • Garnish with a lime wedge, if desired.

Notes

  • You can use another kind of orange liqueur, such as Cointreau or triple sec, if that's what you have on hand.
