Zesty Salt Rimmed Tequila Margarita Snack

Ingredients

- 1 lime wedge
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 2 ounces tequila
- 1 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice (about 1 lime)
- 1/2 ounce orange liqueur
- Fine salt for finishing

Instructions

1. Prepare the Glass
- Run the lime wedge around the rim of a cocktail glass to moisten it. This will help the salt adhere to the edge.
- Spread the kosher salt on a small plate. Gently press the rim of the moistened glass into the salt, ensuring an even coating. Set the glass aside.

2. Mix the Margarita
- In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, freshly squeezed lime juice, and orange liqueur.
- Fill the shaker with ice, cover, and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill the mixture thoroughly.

3. Serve
- Strain the cocktail mixture into the prepared glass.
- For added flavor and presentation, sprinkle a pinch of fine salt over the surface of the drink.

4. Garnish and Enjoy
- Optionally, garnish the glass with the used lime wedge or a fresh lime wheel for extra zest and aesthetic appeal.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing culinary cocktail snack.
