It's never too early for tequila when you are sipping a breakfast margarita.

Ingredients

Salt, for the rim
Lime wedge, for the rim
Ice cubes
2 ounces blanco tequila
3/4 ounce triple sec
3/4 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
1 to 2 tablespoons orange marmalade
Orange wheel, for garnish

Directions

Pour a thin layer of salt onto a small saucer. Rub a lime wedge along half the rim of a margarita or rocks glass; dip the moistened edge into the salt to coat. Fill the rocks glass and a cocktail shaker with ice.
Add tequila, triple sec, lime juice and orange marmalade to the shaker. Cover and shake until frost forms on the outside of the shaker, 15-20 seconds. Strain into prepared glass. Garnish with orange wheel, if desired.
