Ingredients
- Ice for the shaker
- 4 ounces Tequila, blanco or silver
- 4 ounces simple syrup
- 2 ounces Limoncello lemon liqueur (such as Fabrizia brand)

- Cover the container and shake to combine and chill the ingredients.
Coat the rims:
- Spread salt in a shallow dish wide enough for the rims of your glasses. Cut a slit in the lemon wedge and rub the lemon around the rims of the glasses to wet them.
- Dip the rims of two margarita glasses into the salt.
Pour and serve:
