For a twist on the classic margarita, use lemons instead of limes. Lemons pair well with tequilas and make for a salty, boozy, and refreshing margarita!

Ingredients

  • 3 ounces tequila
  • 3 ounces fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 ounces Cointreau
  • 1 cup ice
  • Lemon wedge and Kosher salt to rim the glasses, optional
  • Lemon slices for a garnish, optional

Instructions

  1. If adding a rimmer, place some Kosher salt into a small, shallow plate. Rub the lemon wedge around the top of each cocktail glass and then dip the glasses into the salt a few times, until there is a thin coating of salt around each rim.
  2. Pour the tequila, lemon juice, and Cointreau into a high-speed blender. Add 1 cup ice and blend until the mixture reaches the consistency of a slushy.
  3. Pour drink mixture into the cocktail glasses, garnish with a slice of lemon, and enjoy.
