These lime margaritas are made with the whole lime, including the rinds. Choose thin-skinned limes with plenty of juice and your lime margaritas will be bright and flavorful — nothing reminiscent of a bottled mix! The lime rind adds beautiful color and a burst of tart, but not overly sweet, taste. You'll never make a margarita the old way again.

Ingredients

  • medium thin-skinned limes: 2 piece
  • ice cold water: 2 cups
  • tequila: 1 cup
  • white sugar: 0.5 cup
  • orange-flavored liqueur (such as Cointreau): 0.25 cup
  • kosher salt: 0.25 tsp
  • ice: 3 cups (or as needed)
  • slices lime: 6 piece
