1
Infuse the Tequila
Wash and slice the Valencia oranges into quarters. In a clean glass jar, combine the orange quarters with the tequila. Seal the jar tightly and let it infuse in a cool, dark place for at least 3 days, shaking gently each day. For a stronger flavor, let it infuse for up to a week.

2
Mix the Margarita
In a cocktail shaker, combine 120 ml of fresh lime juice, 60 ml of orange liqueur, and 30 ml of simple syrup. Add 2 cups of ice cubes and 120 ml of the infused Valencia orange tequila to the shaker. Shake well until chilled.

3
Serve the Margarita
If desired, rim the glasses with coarse salt. Strain the margarita mixture into two glasses filled with ice. Garnish each drink with an orange slice and a maraschino cherry. Serve immediately.
