I have been having a serious margarita craving this summer. I broke our blender trying to make frozen ones early on, so I had to find a recipe that didn't use frozen limeade. Besides the fact that I have always liked on the rocks margaritas better...
This recipe is perfect. It's definitely citrus filled, and even though it has a lot of sugar, I feel like it's better for you than those bottled mixes. I keep finding occasions to make it- my sister's visit, my brother in law's visit, Tuesday night....
