How can I measure the ingredients if I don't have a jigger?

You can use measuring spoons if you don't have a measuring cup for cocktails. 1/2 oz is 1 US tablespoon so it's really easy to multiply. 1 oz is 2 tablespoons and 1 1/2 is 3 tablespoons.

I don't have a cocktail shaker, what can I use?

You can use a mason jar! Use its lid as a strainer to strain your cocktail.

Do I need a special glass for this cocktail?

Margarita glass is the classic option but I like adding ice so any short glass works, it doesn't matter too much. I like using a double old-fashioned glass.

Can I turn this margarita into a mocktail?

Yes, you can use non-alcoholic zero-proof tequila. There are more and more of them on the market nowadays. To replace Campari, use freshly-squeezed grapefruit juice.

Instructions

First prepare your glass. Add the salt to a small plate. Run a lime wedge around the rim of the glass. Dip the glass in the salt, rotate a couple of times until the salt sticks. Fill your glass with ice and set aside.
Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker or a mason jar with a handful of ice and shake for 5-10 seconds until very cool to touch.
Pour into your prepared glass, garnish with a slice of lime, and serve immediately.

Notes

Simple syrup - To make simple syrup, you just combine equal parts of sugar and water and warm them while stirring constantly to mix. It doesn’t have to boil, it’s just so that the sugar dissolves. You can do this with any sugar alternative too. I like mixing water and maple syrup. It should last in the fridge in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
