Ingredients: lime wedges, kosher salt for the glasses' rims, 1/2 cup juice from Mexican limóns or fresh limes, 1/4 cup tequila, 1 1/2 tablespoons Cointreau (orange-flavored liqueur), 2 1/2-3 tablespoons superfine sugar, and 12 ice cubes.
First, run a lime wedge around the edge of each glass. Then dip rims into a saucer filled with the salt. Next, put the remaining ingredients into a blender; blend until the ice cubes are chipped and the mixture becomes frothy. Pour the mixture into the prepared glasses; garnish with lime.
Now, you're ready to celebrate!
