1 1/2 ounces orange-flavored liqueur (such as Cointreau®)
•
crushed ice
Directions
1
Chill 2 martini glasses. Pour about 1 tablespoon coarse salt onto a shallow dish. Cut a slit into one of the orange wedges and rub along the rim of the chilled glasses to moisten. Roll edges of glasses in the salt to create a salt-rim and place glasses in the freezer while mixing the margaritas.
