Perfect Margarita!
Villager Approved

Ingredients:

  • 2 teaspoons Diamond Crystal kosher salt

  • 1 medium lime

  • Ice

  • 1 ½ ounces blanco or silver tequila

  • 1 ounce orange liqueur, preferably Cointreau

  • ¼ ounce agave nectar or simple syrup (optional)

 

Instructions:

  1. Spread 2 teaspoons Diamond Crystal kosher salt in an even layer on a small flat plate. Halve 1 medium lime. Cut 1 lime wedge from one half, then juice the remaining lime pieces until you have 1 ounce. Run the lime wedge over the rim of an Old-Fashioned or margarita glass to moisten. Invert the glass into the salt, turning it as needed, to coat the rim. Fill the glass with ice.

  2. Place the lime juice, 1 ½ ounces Blanco tequila, 1 ounce orange liqueur, and ¼ ounce agave nectar or simple syrup if using in a cocktail shaker. Fill the shaker halfway with ice, seal, and shake until the outside of the shaker is very frosty, about 20 seconds.

  3. Pour through a fine-mesh strainer into the glass. Garnish with the lime wedge.
