To make the honey simple syrup, mix together 1 tablespoon honey (or agave) with 1 tablespoon warm water so that the honey will easily mix into the margarita.

You may need to do this in two batches. You can also just add ice to a small pitcher and stir all of your ingredients together, whatever is easiest!

Step 5

On a small plate or shallow dish, add a little lime juice or water and place the salt on another plate. Dip the rim of each glass in the lime juice or water and then dip that into the salt. You could also add a little tajin or chili lime seasoning if you want take these margaritas to the next level!
