For an extra burst of flavor, try using flavored salts like chili lime or smoked paprika for the rim. Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding a splash of agave nectar or simple syrup. Use high-quality tequila and freshly squeezed lime juice for the best-tasting margarita. For a spicy margarita, add a slice of jalapeño to the shaker while mixing.
