My Favorite Margarita

Forget the margarita mixes, here’s a recipe for My Favorite Margarita.  It’s light and fresh using fresh limes and orange.

I’ve been drinking these margaritas a lot lately, they taste so fresh and less acidic than margaritas made with margarita mix.  I tend to like my cocktails a bit sweeter so I add agave syrup.  If you like your cocktail a bit sweeter add a squirt, if not leave it out.  Up to you!  I prefer to rim my glass with Tajin seasoning instead of salt.  It gives the margarita a nice little chili lime zip!
