Description

A simple and quick recipe for orange margarita. Using fresh squeezed orange juice makes a huge difference.

Ingredients

coarse salt
2 orange wedges
3 ounces freshly squeezed orange juice
3 ounces tequila
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.
2 Pour orange juice, tequila, and orange liqueur into a cocktail shaker and shake well. Add a bit of crushed ice into the chilled martini glasses and pour margaritas into the glasses. Garnish with orange wedges and serve.
