(Serves 1)
1 lime, cut into 5 slices margarita or kosher salt 2 ounces anejo tequila 1
ounce orange liqueur, such as Triple Sec 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed
lemon juice 1/2 coffee cup ice cubes
Arrange 3 lime slices on a small plate and cover another plate with the
salt to a depth of 1/4 inch. Place a martini glass upside down on the limes
and press and turn to dampen. Then dip in the salt to coat the rim.

To make 8 margaritas, mix 2 cups tequila, 1 cup Triple Sec and 1/2 cup
freshly squeezed lemon juice. Prepare in 3 batches; shake or blend a third
of the mix with about 1 coffee cup ice for each batch.
