Perfect Frozen Margarita

little tequila into one of the saucers, and
the salt into the other. Turn the glasses upside down, one by one, dip the rim
first into the tequila, shaking off excess liquid, then
into the salt; and set the glass upright.
Making the cocktail: Measure the fresh lime juice, tequila, and orange liqueur
into the container of the blender, pour in ice, and
puree, pulsing the machine on and off for a few seconds. If you want a uniform
frozen effect, puree until you hear no ice crackling;
otherwise leave in a few bits of ice - a matter of taste. Serve at once, pouring
into the middle of each glass so as not to disturb the
ring of salt.
