Prepare the Rim: Mix orange zest, sugar, and salt together on a small plate.
Rim the Glasses: Run a lime wedge around the rim of two glasses, then dip them into the orange zest-sugar-salt mixture to coat.
Combine the Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, combine the orange juice, lime juice, triple sec, and softened vanilla ice cream.
Shake: Add ice to the cocktail shaker and shake very well until the mixture is chilled and frothy.
Serve: Strain the cocktail into the prepared glasses and garnish with a slice of orange or lemon. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Frozen Version: For a frozen margarita, blend the ingredients with ice instead of shaking.

Make it Spicy: Add a few slices of jalapeño to the shaker for a spicy kick that complements the sweetness.

Swap the Ice Cream: For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt instead of vanilla ice cream for a tangy twist.
