I have been making Margarita's for a long while. Everyone that visits wants one. Some how no one can make them the way I do! You may want to reduce the Cuervo Tequilla to 1 oz. I use about 1/2 ounce of lime juice but that is my preference. Also, a ripe lime will not be as bitter. I always drop the remaining lime in my drink. I will not use any other ingredients but Cuervo Margarita Mix. It is green but it's the best mix, in my opinion, to use. These are potent Margarita's so please be careful!
