Sharp, citrusy, and perfectly balanced, this classic margarita is all about bright fresh lime juice, smooth tequila, and a clean pour of orange liqueur shaken hard over ice until frosty. The salted rim adds that essential briny crunch against the tart, slightly sweet cocktail, and a proper 15-second shake gives it the frothy, well-chilled texture that separates a good margarita from a great one. Straightforward pantry-bar ingredients and a quick shake-and-strain method make this one easy to whip up any night of the week. It's a naturally solid pick for a vegan happy hour, no fuss, no fancy equipment, just a well-built classic in a salt-rimmed glass.
