In a cocktail glass, add the tequila, Cointreau, lime juice, and 2-3 ice cubes. Stir and strain into the salt-rimmed glass. Garnish with a lime wedge.
Note: if you prefer your margarita a bit sweeter, you can add agave nectar or a splash of simple syrup (sugar dissolved in water, equal parts)
Other additions can be chopped fresh pineapple, mango puree, jalapeños, apple, or pear puree.
Use the Upper Deck® to place margarita glasses and salt for the rim. Grab a Mixing Bowl + Platform to serve cubed ice, and use the Garnish Board to serve a variety of toppings.
