Really good! But don't try to save time and juice the limes/lemons ahead of time. The juice just gets really bitter :( I've done that before. You must freshly juice the fruit. If you find they are too strong just serve them as Margartinis and serve in a martini glass. Yum!

These were the best margaritas I've ever had. I served this at a Mexican dinner party I had. They were a hit and so easy to make.

I made this for my bunco club. First these are strong -- REALLY STRONG. Reviewers that said you need a designated driver were not kidding. The first sip left me coughing a little. I will say that I'm normally a red wine drinker and don't usually do liquor, so that may have been it?? There was absolutely no sweetness in these. I'm not a big syrupy drink person but this was way too sour and strong. The women in my bunco club couldn't drink these. What a bummer. I had to send my husband out for margarita mix (yuck. I like the sound of Alton Brown's recipe. It calls for agave sweet syrup - but you can use simple syrup. You can make it as sweet or sour as you like and there's no overwhelming taste of tequila. I honestly didn't like this drink at all. Margaritas, to me, are a fun drink - We were celebrating Cinco de Mayo. This recipe is not fun at all. It's a get drunk drink, laced with lime juice.

These have become a summertime staple in our house. They're fantastic! We're throwing a big birthday bash in a couple of weeks and will be making these by the pitcher!

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!

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.
