I use the same ingredents but different ratio. To much water - With my changes its 5 stars - I use the can of limeade; then add - half a can of tequila; half a can of T.S; and half a can of water. Pour over ice in a salt rimmed glass then add a little Ameretto. YUMMY

I personally prefer less water and replace it with a can of beer.

Limey, luscious, sweet but still tart and NOT FROZEN! This is perfect--I didn't add salt or extra lime but some of my guests did (also scaled back the water. Next time I will turbo charge the flavor--omit the water and use light beer. To make it sweeter, substitute the water for lemon lime soda.

I cut back the water by one "can". I think it could have been cut back by another "can" and been perfect. I will try that next time and re-review. As is, my husband drank the whole pitcher in a couple hours. NOTE: Keep the pitcher in the fridge to keep the ice from melting as fast.
