Author Notes: I love this margarita and its riffability so much that I included two different variations of it in my upcoming cookbook, Cooking with Scraps, but you don’t have to wait for it to come out (in October, so sweet of you to ask), to play around with the recipe for yourself. —Lindsay-Jean Hard

Serves: 2 (if you're nice and share)
Prep time: 10 min

1 ounce Cointreau
2 limes, juiced
3 ounces gold tequila
4 teaspoons simple syrup
coarse sea salt
additional lime wedges for garnish

Add first four ingredients to a shaker, add ice, and shake until chilled.
Put the salt in a small dish, rub the rims of two glasses with the juiced lime halves, rim them with salt, add ice to each, pour in the shaken margaritas, garnish with limes, and enjoy.
