When you want a marg, but you also want a little “hey, howya doin” too — these ritas have the perfect kick balanced out with brightness from the cilantro. They’re just delightful, honestly. Check it out:

What You Need:

• 2.5 shots of your fave tequila

• Juice of 1/2 an orange

• Juice of 2.5 limes

Make It Happen:

1. Add all ingredients to a shaker with a big handful of ice.

2. Shake 30 times!

3. Mix about 1 tbsp of course sea salt and a couple dashes of Tajin on a paper plate. Rub the rim with the leftover squeezed lime and dip the rim of the glass into the salt mixture.

4. Add desired amount of ice to the salted rimmed glass, and pour the liquid from the shaker into the glass.

5. Garnish with fresh jalapeno slices and a sprig of cilantro. Enjoy!
