I made this recipe for cinco de mayo and they were a hit. They taste just like the margaritas served in authentic mexican restaurants. I didn't have time to squeeze fresh lime juice, so I bought a bottle of the pre squeezed and they were still excellent. This recipe is going into my family recipe book!

If you're lookin' for "Knock You On Your Tail" Margaritas - Here ya go!! We used silver Petron (TALK ABOUT SMOOTH TEQUILA!). Which I would recommend, but don't be heavy handed - take the time to measure out the ounces. (I made the foolish mistake of letting the husband prepare the second round...)

This was wonderful. For anyone who isn't armed with knowledge of Tequila. Try using Sauza Hornitos or El Tesoro. Cuervo is a no-no. Mexicans won't touch the stuff.

This is an excellent recipe. I'm with Parker in that I don't use Margarita mix unless I absolutely have to for some reason. I don't use sweetened lime juice but it sounds like a good idea. Otherwise this is just the way I make them. Since limes are half the price of lemons these days, it is easy to buy a bunch of limes, use a juicer and make a big batch of coctails, freezing the extra lime juice for another day. I also make a diet version with orange extract and splenda instead of Triple Sec. It has to be customized for the individual's taste as to how much of each one uses of each but it helps lower the calories.

I am not a huge fan of margaritas, but these are the best I've ever made at home. I will never use a mix again

Yummy!! I would compare to authentic mexican dining. Not to sweet but perfect mixture. I will never buy a mixer again. Will serve at the lake house this weekend.

Really simple and really good! It is a bit strong, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, right? I made a batch to have with our dinner tonight and afterward, my husband asked me to make another.

Wow-- these were so good and easy to make! I had to try them since we spent our honeymoon in Zijhuatenejo. We didn't have the sweetened lime juice, but they were great without it. I was never a fan on margaritas on the rocks, but now I'm converted--I'm never using one of those mixes again!

Finally, an AUTHENTIC margarita recipe. If you think margarita mix or frozen limeade + tequila is yummy, or you like "blended" margaritas, this might be more than you bargained for. If you like margaritas the way God intended them (on the rocks, with salt, made from scratch) you can't do better than this. Using fresh limes means you might taste some differences from batch to batch. Too sour? Add a dash more triple sec. If you don't have any Rose's Lime Juice you can just skip the "sweetened lime juice" part. I often make them with just 5 parts tequila, 4 parts triple sec, and 3 parts FRESH lime juice and they are fine. Just keep in mind, this is a serious cocktail for people with grownup palates.

The fresh squeezed lime is what makes this drink for me. I served it in glass chock full of ice. So refreshing on a hot day.

This is a great recipe! I'm not a fan of overly sweet drinks, and found this the perfect combination. Tart and fresh tasting.
