    I wanted a lean option to explore cocktail options I did 1800 silver triple sec and fresh squeezed limes in lieu of sweetened lime juice. I had orange seltzer which was nice. Good little cocktail

    I was really disappointed. Something was definitely missing.

    Not bad but a little too salty and sweet for my taste. A good tequila 1800 Silver and Triple Seq 2 to 1 a quarter of squeezed of a soft lime ice and stir makes a great margarita without the salt and extra sugar. This mix is surprisingly smooth.

    Finally found a truly tasty margarita! Even my husband likes them. No more stomach churning sour tasting margaritas for me! Really enjoying this one and I did not change a thing. Thanks so much!

    This recipe is excellent! I have been trying to find an easy inexpensive recipe that is not just the bottle mix. This was a great alternative to making a margarita with fresh lemons limes and oranges. It tastes the same if not better and is great when lemons limes and oranges are out of season - Read more ...
