1. Start with homemade sour mix!
Bring 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water to boil, stirring to incorporate.
Simmer for six minutes and then allow to cool completely.
Squeeze enough limes for 3/4 cup of lime juice.
Add 1/4 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Combine juices and cooled simple syrup.
2. Rim two margarita glasses!
Option 1: Combine coarse salt and Tajin on a saucer.
Run a lime slice around the edge of your glass and dip into salt mixture.
Option 2: Use sugar instead of salt if you prefer a sweet rim.
3. And now, for the perfect margarita …
Fill your glass with crushed ice to the top.
Combine 2 ounces of top shelf Tequila, 1/2 ounce of Cointreau or Triple Sec,
and 5-6 ounces of sour mix in a jar or shaker. Shake it up, baby.
Pour over ice and garnish with a lime slice.
