My recipe is 2 shots Tequila, 1 shot triple sec in a 12 oz. glass. Add the juice from 1 lime and add a handful of crushed ice. Fill the rest of the glass with lemonade.

They are nice if you do them in a blender with ice and throw in an egg white.

No Grand Marnier, no good. Ditch the triple sec, light on the Cointreau.


There is a product sold in Mexico called "Controy" It's a Cointreau knock-off and really good. Much better than triple sec. Here in Borderland the basic ingredients are Tequila, Controy and fresh key lime juice (Key limes come from Mexico, the Florida Keys don't produce enough for retail) The proportions vary by who's making the drinks. Frozen Margaritas are not even considered by true margarita lovers around here.

I like to add some Grand Marnier to mine, too.
