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