Ingredients

  • Lime wedges
  • Kosher salt for the glasses' rims
  • 1/2 cup juice from Mexican limóns or fresh limes
  • 1/4 cup tequila
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Cointreau (orange-flavored liqueur)
  • 2 1/2-3 tablespoons super fine sugar
  • 12 ice cubes

Preparation

1. Run a lime wedge around the edge of each glass. Then dip rims into a saucer filled with the salt.
2. Put the remaining ingredients into a blender; blend until the ice cubes are chipped and the mixture becomes frothy. Pour the mixture into the prepared glasses; garnish with lime.

Prep: 20 minutes. Squeeze a big batch of lime juice so it's easy to refresh your drinks during commercial breaks.
