Margarita

Who doesn’t love a scratch margarita?

1 1/2 ounces blanco tequila (I use Patron or Casamigos)
1 ounce Cointreau
1 ounce orange juice
1 – 2 ounces fresh lime juice
agave or simple syrup to taste
(simple syrup: heat 2 parts sugar with 1 part water until dissolved, chill in fridge for up to 6 months)

If you like salt on your rim, pour a little Cointreau onto a plate, dip the rim of your glass in the Cointreau (the high sugar content will make the salt stick better than using lime juice), then in salt.

Fill your glass with ice.

Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker filled with ice, shake well and strain into your glass.

Enjoy!
