I´ve been using this recipe for a while now, but I add about 3 T fresh squeezed orange juice and a shot of seltzer water. My Mexican boyfriend who is very picky loves it! Though not quite as much as the Margaritas de Tamarindo we had in Morelia, Mx last summer.

I enjoyed this margarita all summer long. It was rather strong as written (for me), so I reduced the tequila a little. I enjoyed the sweetness and the variations in the magazine were fun too.

This might be a refreshing tequila-based drink, but it's not a Margarita. Most of the offerings in bars aren't Margaritas either; sour mix, sugar, Rose's lime juice ... NONE of that goes in a Margarita. A Margarita has three ingredients, not counting the salt on the glass rim for those who do that; silver tequila, Cointreau (originally), and fresh lime juice. PERIOD. I use Patron's Citronge in place of Cointreau because it's also 80 proof, is less sweet and has a fresher orange flavor than Cointreau, and I use a 3:1.5:1 ratio between tequila:lime juice:Citronge. For the limes, I prefer the juice freshly squeezed from the small, thin-skinned, extra-juicy limes from Mexico.. sort of like Key limes, but a little sweeter. ANY fresh squeezed lime juice is better than bottled alternatives, and do NOT put Rose's "lime juice" anywhere NEAR one of my Margaritas. If you even mention or look at sour mix or sugar when making a Margarita, then the conversation is over. On the other hand, the cocktail in this recipe IS enjoyable, whatever it is, and agave nectar is a WONDERFUL addition to a well-stocked bar. I use it in place of sugar in Mojitos, primarily. Mojito purists, feel free to flame away at ME! Disfrutas las bebidas!

This has become my absolute favorite recipe for margaritas! I wouldn't change anything about it! If you like your margarita less sweet, you can adjust the agave syrup accordingly. It is clean and natural tasting - especially if you use a good-quality blanco tequila. Delicioso!
