Ingredients

Scale
- 4 ounces Reposado tequila
- 2 ounces Cointreau (you can also use triple sec)
- 1 1/2 ounces fresh lime juice
- 1/2 ounce sweetened lime juice (optional, otherwise use another 1/2 ounce fresh lime juice)
- Agave nectar or simple syrup to sweeten, as desired
- Coarse salt and lime slices to garnish
Instructions
- Run a lime slice along the rim of your margarita glass. Dip the rim the glass onto a small plate with coarse salt until coated. Set aside.
- Mix tequila, cointreau, and lime juices together in a cocktail shaker. Shake until combined.
- Taste and add sweetener as desired. Start with a small amount, 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon. Mix after each addition and taste again (I prefer mine with little to no sweetener but most people like a touch of sweet).
- Fill salt rimmed glasses with ice. Pour the margarita mix in the cocktail shaker over the ice. Garnish with a lime slice and serve immediately.
