Recipe Notes and Tips 

Here are a few things you can do to make ensure your margaritas taste great every time you make them. 

  • Make your own sweet-and-sour mix by combining sugar and water with a mixture of lemon and lime juice. 
  • Take the limes out of the fridge before you begin to prepare the margaritas so they are easier to juice. Or pick up some lime juice at the grocery store instead of juicing them yourself.
  • Keep a stash of ice in the freezer just in case the mood hits for margaritas. 

Variations

Here are a few suggestions for changing things up a bit. 

  • Use honey, maple syrup, or agave instead of simple syrup. 
  • Try Grand Marnier in place of Cointreau. 
  • Switch out the lime juice for lemon or pineapple juice. 
  • Make an iced margarita and place all the drink ingredients in the blender.
