1
Rim the glass (optional)
Rub a lime wedge around the rim of a chilled rocks or margarita glass. Dip the rim into coarse salt to coat evenly. Set glass aside.
2
If using fresh sour mix: combine equal parts fresh lime juice and simple syrup; chill. If using prepared sour/margarita mix, ensure it is cold.

3
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice (about 3/4 full). Add 2 oz Patrón Silver Tequila, 1 oz triple sec (or Cointreau), 1 oz fresh lime juice and 1 oz sour mix. If you prefer sweeter, add 0.25 oz agave syrup.
4
Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the shaker is well chilled and slightly frosted.
5
Fill the prepared glass with fresh ice (about 1 cup). Strain the shaken margarita over the ice into the glass, leaving room at the top for the orange liqueur float.
6
Carefully pour 0.5 oz Patrón Citrónge (or other orange liqueur) over the back of a spoon held just above the drink to create a gentle float on the surface.

7
Garnish with an orange wheel or a fresh orange twist placed on the rim or floated on top.
8
Serve immediately with a straw or stirring stick so the guest can stir the float into the drink as desired.
