How to make a margarita at home:

Ingredients

• 2 ounces of tequila
• 1 ounce of Cointreau (or other triple sec)
• 1 ounce of fresh juice
• Salt for rim of the glass
• Lime for garnish

Recipe 

Combine tequila, Cointreau and juice in shaker with ice. Shake and strain into salt-rimmed rocks glass filled with ice. Add lime wheel to rim of glass.

Note: If you don't have Cointreau, simple syrup is sometimes used as an alternative. You can make simple syrup with one part water and one part sugar. Put the sugar and water in a small saucepan, then cook over low heat while stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves.
