Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • Ice
  • 4 ounces tequila
  • 2 ounces Cointreau
  • 2 ounces fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 ounce agave syrup
  • Coarse sea salt
  • Lime peel, for the glasses
  • Lime wedges, for garnish

Instruction

  • Fill a shaker or large measuring cup partway with ice. Add the tequila, Cointreau, lime juice, and agave syrup. Stir or shake until thoroughly chilled.
  • Spread the salt on a plate. Rub the rims of 2 rocks glasses with the lime peel. Dip the rims into the salt.
  • Fill the glasses with ice and pour in the margarita. Garnish each margarita with a lime wedge.
  • <strong>To make a frozen margarita:</strong> Fill a blender with a few handfuls of ice, then add the tequila, Cointreau, lime juice, and agave syrup. Blend until the mixture is slushy (add more ice if you want it more slushy!). Pour into the salt-rimmed glasses and garnish with a lime wedge.
  • <strong>To make a fruity frozen margarita:</strong> Place ½ cup of your favorite frozen fruit (we like strawberry, mango, pineapple, and watermelon) and a handful of ice in a blender. Add the tequila, Cointreau, lime juice, and agave syrup. Blend until the mixture is slushy (add more fruit if you want to amp up the flavor or make the drink colder!). Pour into the salt-rimmed glasses and garnish with a lime wedge.
