1
Rim the glass
Run the lime wedge around the outside top rim of a rocks or coupe glass (or inside rim for salted interior). Dip the moistened rim into coarse salt to coat. Set glass aside.
2
Combine ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz Corazón Reposado, 1 oz Cointreau, 1.5 oz house margarita mix, and 0.5 oz fresh lime juice if using. If your margarita mix is on the tart side, add 0.25 oz agave syrup to balance.
3
Add ice and shake
Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup). Seal and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds, until well-chilled and slightly diluted.
4
Strain and serve
Double strain (if using fresh juice/pulp) into the prepared salt-rimmed glass over fresh ice (or serve neat in a coupe with no ice if preferred).
5
Garnish
Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim.

6
Adjust the balance to taste: increase Cointreau for more orange brightness, or add more agave if the mix is too tart. Using the Social Barrel Pick reposado will add oak and spice — if unavailable, any quality reposado tequila will work.
