For a sweeter margarita, consider using a sugar rim instead of salt. Simply substitute coarse sugar for the salt when preparing the glass rims. Adjust the amount of tequila and orange liqueur to suit your personal taste preferences. For an extra burst of flavor, try using blood oranges or other varieties of oranges for the freshly squeezed juice. Ensure you shake the cocktail long enough to properly chill the drink. If you don't have a cocktail shaker, a mason jar with a tight-fitting lid can be used as a substitute.
