In the prepared glass, add a few fresh ice cubes.
Strain the shaken margarita into the glass over the ice.
Add a dash of edible glitter to the top of the drink and stir gently to incorporate the sparkle.
Garnish with a dried orange slice for a spooky, decorative touch. Serve immediately and enjoy your Spooky Halloween Margarita.
