Alot of my guest thought it would be better with salt around the rim instead of the sugar...myself I liked the sugar on the rim!! Great drink...that really does sneak up on you!

These were interesting but my husband thought there would be more banana flavor. I ended up using many more bananas than the recipe called for and kept tweaking until we liked it. I can say I have had a banana margarita now but doubt I will ever go to the trouble to make another except if we were having a theme party or something along those lines where this would go well.

WOW. I don't even like margaritas, but these were amazing. The banana really makes it creamy and delicious--try this recipe if you like tropical drinks! I was thinking of adding some orange juice next time and experimenting with the frozen concentrate.

I had to try this one being an avid margarita drinker. However, you MUST like the taste of triple sec to like this drink, and unfortunatly, we dont. Also, my bananas weren't very ripe and could barely taste banana. I would suggest using very ripes ones, and minimal triple sec according to your tastes.

Excellent!! I made these for Superbowl and everyone loved them. Even my non-sweet drinking/beer only friend! I did use 4 large bananas and reduced Triple Sec slightly to give them more banana flavor. They were great....creamy and delicious. I may try adding a little banana liqueur next time to see if it makes any difference...but we love them! Thank you!

Very tender drink. I didn`t have orange liqueur and I used orange juice. The drink came out good.
