Preparation

Step 1

In a blender, combine the tequila, Cointreau, 1 cup lime juice, and sugar.

Cover and process on high speed until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is thoroughly combined, about 10 seconds.

Spread a layer of salt on a small, flat plate. Rub the rim of a glass with a lime wedge, or dip the rim in lime juice. Then dip the rim into the salt to coat lightly. Repeat with the remaining glasses. Fill each glass three-fourths full with the ice. Pour in the blended mixture, filling almost to the rim. Serve at once.
