Margaritas are a well-known crowd pleaser! In just a few minutes you can whip up this tasty, fun treat to enjoy on its own or as part of your Cinco de Mayo celebration!

For these easy, icy margaritas, I'll start by salting the rim of my glass by using a lime wedge to coat the rim and then dipping it in salt. (If you're enjoying these on a hot day, I LOVE these stylish short stemless glasses that also keep your margarita nice and icy. Or for a cute and quirky twist- you can try these super cute tall cactus glasses that I'm using). Fill the glass with ice.

Then, you'll want to gather 3 oz of lime juice (about 3 limes for fresh juice) or you can use the concentrate, 2 oz of silver tequila, and 1 oz orange liqueur (I'll save money by using the little bottles if this is all I'm making!). Add 1 tablespoon of simple syrup (it's easy to make or you can buy it prepared!) Mix these up in a cocktail shaker and then strain into your waiting glass. Garnish with a lime wedge.

That's it! Your margarita is ready for you to enjoy!
