Pour over ice into salt-rimmed glasses. Pour a splash of sparkling water into each glass, if desired, and garnish with lime wedges.

Use fresh juice. While you can use store-bought orange juice, fresh citrus juice will brighten up the flavors and make your drink that much better.
Serve extra cold. No one likes warm tequila. Keep it in your freezer and shake it up in this Margarita Recipe for the ultimate frosty sip.
Is a frozen margarita more your speed? Blend with ice for the ultimate cold treat this summer. Add in a bit more juice to brighten things up even more.
Add a little bubbly with some sparkling water. Plain works well, but lime makes this cocktail sing!
