That is the ONLY way to make a good Margarita

I squeeze fresh lime and mix in about 1/3 to 1/2 by volume fresh squeezed OJ.
2 Part juice
1 Part really good tequila (I use Casadores Repsado)
1 Part Cointreau
Put in a shaker full of ice and shake until the outside frosts.

Normal: Put in a martini glass rimed with coarse salt
Lighter: Fill martini glass with crushed ice an pour the magarita over the ice

Edit: Use Mexican limes, if you can find them, and you can cut back some of the OJ.
