Coarse salt
Ice cubes
1 1/4 cups freshly squeezed lime juice
1 cup best-quality white tequila
1/3 cup Cointreau
1/3 cup sugar, plus more if desired

I wasn't a fan of the salt rim on this margarita. I think it would be better without it.

I found that this margarita was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less simple syrup next time.

This margarita is the perfect balance of sweet and sour. It's not too sweet and not too sour.
