Steps:
- Use a citrus squeezer to squeeze 4 oz. of lime juice into a cup and set it aside.
- Add 3 oz. of tequila and 1.5 oz of Cointreau into a blender. Follow that up with the lime juice from the previous step, 2 cups of ice and blend it!
- (Optional) Add Salt Around the Rim: Now to set up your glasses, cut a lime into small wedges and use one of them to rub a small amount of lime juice around the rim of your class. The lime juice will help the salt stick around the edges.
- Pour 2 to 3 tablespoons of salt into a small plate. Grab the glass you just rubbed lime juice on and hold angle it so you can rotate the rim and make sure you've added salt around it evenly.
- After salting the glasses, finally pour the margarita into your glass. Add a lime wedge to your glass as the final garnish, invite friends, and say cheers.

THE PERFECT MARGARITA
Mastering the margarita requires a certain amount of practice, but once you dial-in your perfect ratio, it's a really easy cocktail to replicate. The classic recipe is 3 parts tequila, 2 parts triple sec, and 1 part freshly squeezed lime juice, and you should probably start off pretty close to that, but my personal favorite proportions are 4-3-2.

Tips:
- Use fresh limes for the best flavor. Limes that are too old will be sour and lack the bright, citrusy flavor that is essential for a good margarita.
- Make sure your tequila is of good quality. A cheap tequila will make for a cheap margarita. Look for a tequila that is 100% agave and has a smooth, clean flavor.
- Use freshly squeezed orange juice. Bottled orange juice is often too sweet and can overpower the other flavors in the margarita.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors. You can add fruit, herbs, or spices to your margarita to create a unique and delicious drink.
- Serve your margarita chilled. A margarita that is too warm will be flat and flavorless.

The Miami Margarita is a refreshing and flavorful cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this margarita is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. So next time you're looking for a delicious and festive drink, give the Miami Margarita a try.
