About The Recipe

Let's be honest, every Saturday is totally improved with a cocktail!

I feel like everyone probably has a memories of a good margarita. This is an absolute favorite in our house because it's simple, easy, but super flavorful! It's also the best way to cool down on hot days.

We always grab a frozen lime margarita while at Epcot in Walt Disney World and, let's be honest, there is nothing better!

This tastes almost exactly the same!

Seriously, does it get any better?

Ingredients

Añejo Tequila
Orange Liqueur
Sour-Mix

Instructions

If you would like salt, pour some onto a plate and use a lime wedge around the rim of your glass. Press the edge of the glass to the salt and spin until thoroughly coated.

What Tequila Should I Use?
