A successful and upscale Mexican cantina nearby makes the best margaritas I've ever tasted. They look, smell, and taste 'purer' than any others I've had. I always assumed they were using all top-shelf ingredients, until I found out their secret. . . lemon-lime soda! Now I'm able to re-create them at home.

Loved this drink! Used Cointreau instead of Triiple Sec and Sprite Zero for the lemon-lime soda. Did not rim the glasses with salt. Will definitely be making it again. Thanks for sharing your recipe. Read More

Absolutely phenomenal. All you could ever want from a margarita recipe and then some. My husband just returned from a trip to Mexico, and I had to find a recipe that was worthy to use with the bottle of Blanco Patron he brought back. This most definitely fit the bill. Thanks!! Read More

This is the best Margarita recipe I have found yet on the Internet and I have tried out and experimented with dozens. I would call this the White Margarita had I named it. My wife thinks of it as a Dry Margarita. Either way we love it and hardly a weekend goes by that we don't whip up a batch. Read More

I actually multiplied this recipe to make 16 servings and pre-made it in a giant pitcher for a football party then just poured it into ice filled glasses. I used Diet 7-Up and frozen limeade concentrate which I mixed with 4 cans of water before using for the margaritas. It's very refreshing and light and sure packs a punch! It makes a strong drink but that's how I like it! I live in Arizona so I went to the backyard and pulled limes off my tree and squeezed a fresh lime into each glass YUM! Read More
