If you read the description it says to add your favorite fruit, I had 2 super ripe mangoes, some I diced those up, and just used 1/2 can of the limeade, it was delicious!! I was just looking for a basic recipe as I tend to add too much booze or too much ice usually, it was perfect, restaurant quality... in fact i think I might go mix another up with some strawberries!

My niece whipped this up at a party last night, and it was sublime! I like the pleasant tartness of the limeade - it kept the cocktail from being too sweet and syrupy... However, adding frozen fruit to the mix would make it the 5 Star Drink of the Year.

I have used these ingredients for margaritas for many years but with different proportions. Try 6 oz. limeade, 6 oz. tequila, 3-4 oz. orange liqeur (controls sweetness), fill the blender with ice. This makes it less sour. Ice can be replaced with frozen strawberries or frozen mango to make a fruity sweet frozen margarita.

I don't like lime so instead I used a can of frozen mango juice and once I had blended everything together and poured it into my glass, I added a little bit of cherry juice on top of the drink. It was delicious!

I agree-too much limeade. I like margaritas that are tart.

One can of limeade is enough for us. Try this for a change: replace the tequila with rum and add some Grand Mariner; GranGala is just as good and costs much less. We don't care very much for tequila, but love lime so we experimented. Hope you like it.

The limeade really gives this a nice kick. I only used one 12 oz can of limeade and added 20 oz of frozen strawberries, it was great!

Basic margarita is right. Probably got this off a bottle of Cuervo. Good for those that have no idea what a margarita should taste like.

This recipe has potential, but the ratios are really messed up. Twelve ounces of limeade concentrate is way too much. It was so tart! I tried to add some corn syrup to correct it, and ended up using about a cup of it, but it was still so sour that it was undrinkable. I choked down a glass of it, then had a stomachache. This was a shameful waste of tequilla and triple sec.

Everyone at the party loved it!! I've even been asked for the recipe numerous times and have been told to laminate it! Now everytime I go to the store I pick up a couple cans of limeades for those guest who happen to stop by and question if we are making margaritas again tonight.

This basic recipe is great! I have a commercial blender so I increased the tequila to 1 cup & the triple sec to about 1/3cup. I also reduced the limeade a bit so that 2 12oz cans made 3 batches. I used fresh cut limes to wet the rim of the glasses before salting, and served them with the lime wedge on the edge of the glass. These were a great hit at 2 office functions...everyone asked for my recipe!

I too enjoyed these frothy delights at a work function, and let me tell you, the second half of the day went by in a jiffy! A little lime-heavy, but easily altered to suit the drinker's tastes. A basic margarita recipe should be part of everyone's beverage-making repetoire!

This truly is a basic margarita, but boy is it good! It's very lime-y, but that's certainly not a bad thing! Add a little less - or a little more! - to taste. We enjoyed this recipe at a staff function - at work, I know! It was a big hit and everyone gave the bartenders tons of compliments. Chips and salsa are the perfect starter with this, of course!
