Step 1

Salt the rim of the glass (optional): Rub a lime wedge around the rim of a rocks glass. Fill a small plate with coarse salt. Dip the glass into the salt to coat the rim. Fill with ice.

Step 2

Place the tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice, and agave in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake and strain into the glass. Taste and stir in more agave nectar, if desired. Garnish with lime slices and serve.

Chef’s notes

For a spicy margarita, add a few jalapeño slices to your cocktail shaker.

For a smoky margarita, replace the tequila with mezcal.

For fruity margaritas, make my strawberry, mango, or watermelon margarita recipe.
