Ingredients

  • Kosher salt 

  • 1 lime wedge to rim the glass

  • 1 1/2 ounces silver tequila

  • 1 teaspoon light agave nectar - add 2 if you prefer a sweeter margarita

  • Ice

Directions

Directions are scaled to 1 drink.

  1. Rim the glass: Pour a thin layer of salt onto a small plate. Rub a lime wedge around the top edge of your glass to moisten it, then dip the glass into the salt so that it sticks, tapping all the way around.

  2. Fill the glass with ice and set aside.

  3. Fill a small cocktail shaker with additional ice.

  4. Add the tequila, lime juice, orange juice, and agave.

  5. Tightly close and shake vigorously for at least 30 seconds. Strain into the rimmed glass over the ice. 

  6. Enjoy immediately!
