If you are use the the fake Margaritas (Limeaide based), then you will not like this. This is the authentic recipe.

Not good, not good at all. Sour and diluted. While tequila LOVES sour, and Cointreau does as sweetness, I highly recommend cutting out the water, cutting way down on the Cointreau, and adding some agave nectar or simple syrup to taste. I agree that sweetness has it's limits, but combining tequila and lime and Cointreau (or Gran Marnier) first, and then adjusting with liquid sweeteners is definitely the way to go. Oh, and using Patron in a margarita . . . you might as well add vodka. Use Don Julio or Cuervo Tradicional for upscale; otherwise use Cuervo Gold for perfect results.

the only water that should be added to a margarita is ice.

Not too bad, but I used a cheap tequila-normally I do use a good tequila-Tarantula, 1800, Patron,but I prefer Cabo Wabo. I know it's expensive, but the best tequila makes the best margaritas...

This happends to be the original Margarita Cocktail recipe. Combine lime, cointreau and tequila with ice in a shaker, shake for 1 mintute, serve up with salt, required. Its ridiculously good, nothing like you'll ever have at any bar.

This is my understanding of the classic recipe - and it is wonderful. The tequila MUST be 100% agave (Patron is), and I personally prefer anejo, with it's additional flavor. Another note, to soften a little, replace some of the freshly squeezed lime juice with freshly squeezed lemon juice - but no more that 1/2...

I never thought of a margarita as having a complex flavor...but lime juice and water isn't (to me) a margarita. We tried these because of the fresh ingredients, but something is missing here. (We're 'on-the-rocks' folks; no frozen for us.)

This is the second time I make this drink and I definetely love it, specially since there is not additional sugar other than the one that the tequila and the cointreau already have which means to me "pure flavor".

This was absolutely the worst margarita I've ever made! No one liked them. I followed the recipe exactly and can't figure out why others liked them! If you like frozen margaritas made with limeade you will hate these.
