    Really good but really potent. The lime-sugar-salt rim mixture is a nice touch. I've tried different orange flavored liquors & it's definitely best with Grand Marnier (by a long shot.

    This is a great authentic margarita. Exactly what I was looking for and simple to make. I skipped the lime-sugar-salt mix and just rimmed the glass with kosher salt.

    Pretty good for a basic margarita recipe, and easy to make. I used agave nectar instead of simple syrup to make it even easier. I think next time I'd add a little more lime juice and a little less agave nectar - a tad on the sweet side for me.
