Ingredients

  • 2 ounces tequila
  • 1 ounce Aperol
  • 1 ounce lime juice
  • ice
  • Tajín and coarse salt for rimming the glass

Instructions

  • Salt the rim (optional). Run a lime wedge (the juicy part) around the top rim of your serving glass. Fill a shallow bowl or plate with salt, then dip the rim until it is covered with your desired amount of salt. Set aside.
  • Make the margarita mix. Add tequila, Aperol, lime juice and a few ice cubes to a cocktail shaker. Cover and shake vigorously for about 10 seconds.
  • Serve. Fill the prepared serving glass with ice. Strain in the margarita mix, garnish with an orange or lime slice, serve and enjoy. Cheers!
