Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lime, cut crosswise into 5 slices
Coarse salt
1 cup ice cubes
1/2 cup premium tequila
1/4 cup triple sec or other orange liqueur
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • Place 3 lime slices in single layer on small plate. Pour enough salt on another small plate to reach depth of 1/4 inch. Lightly press rims of 2 Margarita glasses onto lime slices, twisting to extract juices and coat rims. Dip moistened rims into salt to coat lightly.
  • Combine ice cubes, tequila, triple sec, and lime juice in cocktail shaker. Shake until outside of shaker becomes frosty. Strain mixture into prepared glasses. Garnish rims with 2 remaining lime slices and serve immediately.
