• 3 ounces freshly squeezed orange juice
• 2 orange wedges
• 1.5 ounces orange-flavored liqueur (such as Cointreau®)

Recipe Instructions

Step 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.

Step 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.
