1
Prepare the Glass
Take a lime wedge and rub it around the rim of a chilled cocktail glass. Dip the rim of the glass into a plate of coarse salt to coat it evenly. Set aside.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of orange liqueur, and 1 oz of housemade sour mix. Shake well for about 15 seconds to chill and mix the ingredients.
3
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture from the shaker into the prepared glass over fresh ice. Top it off with 2 oz of lemon-lime soda for a refreshing fizz.
4
Garnish
Garnish your margarita with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately and enjoy!
