Notes

Juice: You can use orange juice or even add grapefruit juice or pineapple for a twist of flavor.
Garnish: Feel free to garnish as you wish. You can use decorative ice, edible flowers, sliced fruit, etc. 
Salted Rim: This is an optional way to serve up the tequila orange juice cocktail. Feel free to skip if you don't want a salted rimmed glass.
