Method
Garnish & Glass Prep
Rim the glass
Run the lime wedge around the outer rim of a chilled rocks or coupe glass (your choice). Spread the coarse salt on a small plate and gently dip the rim into the salt so it sticks to the lime juice. Set the glass aside.
Cocktail
Combine ingredients
Add the blanco tequila (or nonalcoholic tequila substitute), orange liqueur (or nonalcoholic orange cordial), fresh lime juice, and agave syrup into a cocktail shaker.
Add ice and shake
Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosty and the ingredients are well chilled and slightly diluted.
Strain and top
Double-strain (or fine-strain) the cocktail into the prepared salt-rimmed glass over fresh ice if serving on the rocks, or without ice into the chilled coupe for a straight-up margarita. If you prefer a lighter, fizz-touched 'Naught Your Margarita', top with about 1 ounce of club soda and gently stir once to combine.
Garnish and serve
Float the thin lime wheel on the surface or place it on the rim. Serve immediately and provide an extra lime wedge on the side if desired.
