Margarita Mix
By Jill-4
Here's how: start out with fresh sour mix, which is a 2:1 ratio of fresh squeezed citrus juice to simple syrup
- For one drink:
- 2 oz of tequila
- 2-3 oz of your fresh sour mix
- 1 1/2 cups of ice, depending on how thick and how strong you want the drinks to be. Blend on medium speed for 10-15 seconds until smooth.
- Serve in a chilled glass with a salted rim and a wedge of lime.
