Best Lime Margaritas
In honor of Cinco De Mayo, here is a tasty and perfect margarita recipe! Easy way to impress your friends and not use any pre-mixed sour mix, less sugar so no headaches, and a little stronger :).
You can use regular lime juice, or Rose’s Lime juice, which is basically sugar water with 60 calories per ounce. So if you want to cut those calories, just use fresh squeezed lime juice for only 8 calories per ounce!
This tastes best with Silver Tequila, and preferably 100% Agave. Some brands that have 100% Agave Silver Tequila are: Familia Camarena, 1800, Sauza Blue Agave, Herradura, and many more
Make on the rocks or frozen, whatever floats your boat!

For one Drink
- 1 1/2 oz. Silver Tequila (Preferably 100% Agave)
