Liked it. Strong, which is great! Love the lime, but I lose the tequila flavor. I taste more triple sec than tequila. Being a fan of tequila, I would change it a little to have more tequila and less triple sec. Also, maybe fresh OJ instead of the sweetened lime. Buzzin... gnight.

Delish! My husband is a margarita fanatic & with that being said is very picky. He loves this drink, we will never buy the pre-mix again. This drink is also very strong but thats the way we like it!

As good as any I've had at a restaurant, though still somewhat too sweet for my taste. Apparently, the International Bartenders Association says a margarita should be 7 parts tequila, 4 parts Cointreau/triple sec, 3 parts lime juice. This recipe is 5:3:4 if you include the Rose's with the lime juice. This is a seriously strong drink, though, so I tried not to go overboard and went with 7:4:4 this time (no Rose's). Still strong, but a little overly sour - I think the bartender's might have the right proportions here! Will have to try again! As others have said, high-quality ingredients are going to give the best results. I paid what I was comfortable with for a "reposado" tequila, which is aged, and is smoother than regular, but you can do better with anejo, which is aged longer. I went with Patron's orange liqueur - half the price of Cointreau - because I couldn't tolerate the idea of putting $4 de Kuypers triple sec in with my $20 tequila! I'll go the next price up on tequila next time, though - this one didn't even have a cork, and I felt like it got shamed by my Patron triple sec... ;) Cheers!!

This is a great basic recipe for a margarita. Keep in mind, the quality of the ingredients is key. Mexican limes are more expensive than the cheap Peruvian limes we often see in the store, but Mexican limes are also sweeter and often have more juice per lime. Using any tequila that is not 100% blue agave is a waste of time and money with this recipe. In addition to triple sec, I recommend a Grand Marnier floater, as it makes the difference in any margarita. Too sour? Try adding agave nectar instead of simple syrup.

Way too limey/sour as written. Next batch I will skip the sweetened lime juice, and opt for simple syrup instead.

Simply delicious! I typically hate margaritas because they are made with mix and overly sweet...but these were perfect! I used cointreau instead of triple sec and used all fresh lime juice instead of part sweetened lime juice. I did add a little extra lime juice because it tasted more balanced to me. I will definitely be making these again! mmmmm

The secret to a great Margarita is decent tequila Just use 100% Agave, no blends, and you will be fine. I like Suaza Blue Resposada at about $10.00 a bottle A little orange a little lime and ice

Fabulous Margarita! This is a great cocktail for unwinding on a weekend! Definitely salt your rim and use a good tequila. You won't be disappointed!

I consider myself a discerning critic of anything other than my home made Margaritas...but this recipe makes up a GREAT Margarita! Great proportions. A little touch of fresh Agave adds a little nice touch
