Martha Stewart's "Martha-Rita" Recipe Is Perfect for Summer
This refreshing cocktail recipe is perfect for warm-weather sipping.
Nothing screams "summer" quite like drinking a frosty margarita al fresco. But unlike the frozen, overly sugary versions often served at restaurants, this margarita recipe from Martha Stewart uses fresh lime juice, orange liqueur and small-batch tequila from Casa Dragones for a simple but delicious cocktail. Round up your friends and grab a cocktail shaker, because you'll want to sip this perfectly balanced "Martha-rita" all summer long.

Ingredients
- 2
limes
Pink salt or sea salt, coarsely ground
- 2 oz.
Casa Dragones tequila blanco
- 1 oz.
orange liqueur or triple sec
- 1 oz.
fresh lime juice
Directions
- Step 1Juice one lime to make 1 ounce and set aside. From remaining lime, slice a thin wheel for garnish and a wedge for salt rim.
- Step 2Run lime wedge around outside of the rim of your Baccarat Martha-rita glass or a chilled rocks glass; dip rim in salt to coat. Partially fill glass with ice (we prefer 1 large sphere for minimal melting and dilution).
- Step 3Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add tequila, orange liqueur, and reserved lime juice. Shake vigorously until outside of shaker is cold and frosty, about 10 seconds; strain into prepared glass. Garnish with lime wheel and serve immediately.
