Ingredients

1 lime, halved
Kosher salt
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (5 limes)
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (1 lemon)
1 cup Triple Sec
3 cups ice
1 cup white tequila

Directions

If you like margaritas served in a glass with salt, rub the outside rims of six glasses with a cut lime and dip each glass lightly into a plate of kosher salt.

Combine the lime juice, lemon juice, Triple Sec, and ice in a blender and puree until completely blended. Add the tequila and puree for 2 seconds more. Serve over ice.

If you prefer frozen margaritas, halve each of the ingredients, double the ice, and blend in two batches. Serve with a cut lime.

Fantastic!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was easily the best margarita I've ever had! Even the non-margarita drinking people loved them. I was concerned about... sweetness after reading the reviews because I do like a sweet margarita, but it was perfect and I did not need to add any type of sweetener. Be warned, you definitely need a designated driver!Read more

Love these margaritas!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I am just now becoming a fan of margaritas because of Ina's great recipe. I'm a big Ina fan and have several of her... cookbooks. I decided to try this recipe and it's fantastic. These are not sweet like ones made with sweet and sour mix and they have just the right amount of tartness. I think the extra lemon juice is key.Read more
