4 ounces Fresh orange juice ½ cup or 1 orange
3 ounces Fresh lime juice ⅓ cup or 3 limes
4 ounces Silver tequila ½ cup
2 ounces Orange lacquer/ triple sec (such as Grand Marnier, Triple Sec, or Cointreau) ¼ cup
1 tablespoons Light agave nectar optional
Orange slice or lime wedge optional
Salt or sugar rim optional

If using, rub the rim 2 glasses with a lime wedge or orange wedge. Dip the rim in salt or sugar.
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add the orange juice, lime juice, tequila, orange liqueur, and agave (if using).
Shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds or until well chilled and frothy.
Strain the margarita into the prepared glasses.
Garnish with an orange slice or lime wedge.

Not-so-sweet margarita - For a less sweet margarita, don’t add the agave nectar.

No cocktail shaker 😔- If you don't have a cocktail shaker, you can mix the ingredients together in a pitcher with ice.
