Instructions

Add all your ingredients to your cocktail shaker (or pitcher if making a large batch) and mix to combine.
Salt the rim of your glass with orange zest and salt. Use an orange slice to dampen the rim of your glass, or dip in a shallow bowl with orange juice.
After that, dip the rim of your glass in a separate shallow bowl that has the salt and orange zest mixed together.
Fill your glass with ice then pour the margarita over the ice.
Garnish with orange slices and fresh rosemary for serving!

Notes

To make this drink non-alcoholic: substitute the tequila with some sparkling water, club soda, or ginger beer. You could also use alcohol-free tequila.
