Préparation

1. 1

   Wash the fruit. Slice the limes (and oranges, if using) in half, and slice a wheel of lime (or orange, or pineapple wedge) for your garnish.

2. 2

   Pour some kosher salt onto a small plate. Use a lime wedge to wet the rim, making 2-3 passes around the glass. Dip the glass into the salt, and swirl it a little to coat the rim. Lift and set aside.

3. 3

   Juice your limes (and oranges, if using).

4. 4

   In a shaker, add the lime and other fruit juice (if using), Tequila, orange liqueur, and simple syrup (see notes), then fill the shaker with ice. Seal and shake for 10-15 seconds.

5. 5

   Pour shaker contents, ice included, into the prepared margarita glass. Garnish with preferred fruit garnish, and enjoy!
