This stripped-down margarita relies on frozen limeade concentrate to replace the usual trio of lime juice, triple sec, and simple syrup. Shaken hard with ice and served in a salt-rimmed glass, it delivers the same tart, boozy balance with almost no prep. Pour it together for a quick happy-hour cocktail or scale it up for a crowd.

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces tequila
  • 2 ounces frozen limeade concentrate, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon coarse salt, for rimming the glass (optional)
  • 1 cup ice cubes

Method

  1. If using a salted rim, run a lime wedge around the edge of a glass and dip the rim into coarse salt.

  2. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes, then pour in the tequila and thawed limeade concentrate.

  3. Cap the shaker and shake vigorously for 15 to 20 seconds, until the outside feels cold.

  4. Strain into the prepared glass over fresh ice and serve immediately.
