1 cup fresh squeezed lime juice (about 8-12 limes)
¾ cup (6 oz) silver tequila
½ cup (4 oz) orange liqueur
lime wedges/slices for garnish (optional)
kosher salt for rim of glass (optional)
Instructions
In a sauce pan, heat up water and sugar until sugar is completely dissolved. Place simple syrup in a jar or pitcher and let cool.
Using a juicer or citrus press squeeze 8-12 limes until you have 1 cup of lime juice. For easier juicing bring the limes to room temperature and roll the lime back and forth with the palm of your hand against a hard flat surface (like counter-top) and apply pressure to the lime as you roll.
Add lime juice to cooled sugar water. Stir in tequila and orange liquor.
To prepare the glass rub a lime wedge on the edge of glass to add a small amount of moisture. Place some kosher salt on a plate and turn glasses rim in the salt until covered, add in ice and pour in the margarita! Enjoy!
