Step 1

Moisten the rim of a margarita glass with a wedge of lime, and then roll the glass at an angle in the salt so that only the outside of the glass is salted.

Step 2

Combine the Super Green Juice, tequila and orange liqueur in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously for 8 to 10 seconds. Strain into the prepared glass over ice. Garnish with a slice of lime.

Step 3

Juice, in this order, the lemons, apple, romaine, cucumber and greens, following your juicer’s specific settings for each. Serve the juice immediately over ice, if desired. Yield: 8 to 10 ounces
