If desired, for the perfect salt rim you can liquidise or grind sea salt to make it finer, then run a cut slice of lime (or orange) around the outside edge of the glass rim before dipping the outside of the rim into salt. (Only salt the outside of the glass to avoid contaminating the drink.)
Margaritas made with premium tequilas are sometimes referred to as 'Deluxe' or 'Cadillac' Margaritas.

Exactly the same but switch out the syrup for “jalapeño agave” syrup.
Made by bringing a chopped jalapeno in 90ml of water to the boil, remove from the heat, leave for 5 mins then stir in 45ml of agave nectar, fine strain and refrigerate.
The perfect “Jalapeño Margarita”.
