Margarita or coarse kosher salt
2 ounces añejo tequila
1 ounce orange liqueur, such as Triple Sec, Cointreau, or Grand Marnier
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime or lemon juice
1/2 cup ice cubes
1. Arrange 3 lime slices to cover a small plate, and cover another plate with salt to a depth of 1/4 inch. Place a martini glass upside down on the limes; press and turn to dampen. Then dip the glass in the salt to coat the rim.
