It is just a little past half time in the SuperBowl and they have just resumed playing after the lights came back on there in NOLA. I wanted to let you know that I really like this recipe for margaritas! I just like lime margaritas. I find the other flavors too sweet for me and this recipe is a little tart, but it could be sweetened with a little simple syrup, or even a packet of your choice of sweetner. I won't be purchasing premade mixes or sweet and sour mix any longer; in fact the bottle I do have is going down the drain! Hope you enjoy if you decide to try it. Just a little warning; this is very strong. Please don't drink and drive. We need all our recipe swap people.
