This blended margarita recipe proves you don't need to purchase a pre-made margarita mix to make a perfect margarita. I prefer mine straight up, but you can add salt to the rim if you like.
Ingredients
- ice cubes: 3 cups (divided)
- ¼ cups fresh lime juice: 1 piece
- triple sec or other orange liqueur: 1 cup
