Salt-Rimmed Margarita on the Rocks

The purist margarita: blanco tequila, fresh lime and orange liqueur shaken hard and poured over ice in a glass with a crunchy salt rim. It is tart, clean and bright, with just enough sweetness to balance the lime. Skip the bottled mix, because fresh juice makes all the difference.
