Notes

This recipe is a combination of several margarita recipes that I’ve used over the years. When there is time, I juice the limes myself, but in most instances, I use store-bought fresh limeade. For this recipe, seek out the freshest store-bought limeade and rid yourself of the unnecessary packaged premade margarita mix. It doesn’t take long to whip up this margarita; in fact, it takes about 2 minutes. Be sure to sample the limeade before using to adjust the amount of agave used. Limeades will vary in sweetness, choose wisely.
