Recipe Makes (Approximate): person
Equipment
- Cocktail shaker with strainer attachment
- tumbler
Ingredients
- ice (for the glass and the shaker)
- ¼ cup fresh-squeezed clementine juice (from 3–4 medium clementines)
- 2-4 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoons honey (or more to taste (see note))
- 2½ ounces tequila
Salt Rim
- 1 teaspoon salt (kosher or sea salt, to rim the glass)
- lime juice (to rim the glass)
Instructions
- Rub a wedge of lime around your glass rim and dip into a plate of kosher or sea salt.

Recipe Notes
Sweetener: You might not need any additional sweetener at all, depending on the sweetness of your clementines! Choose liquid honey in a squeezy bottle rather than something fancier, as thicker, artisanal honey will struggle to dissolve properly in the drink. But, if it is all you have, whisk it with the lime juice until completely dissolved before making your margaritas.
