Sour Margarita
This sour margarita recipe is simple and delicious. Provided you can remember 1-1-1 it is also easy to prepare. The key is using triple sec liqueur which provides just the right amount of sweetness.
Be warned — it goes down easy.

Go!

Recommendations
I recommend pouring two ounce of each ingredient for each person being served. For 2 people you will pour 2 ounces tequila, 2 ounces fresh lime juice and two ounces of triple sec.
Although cointreau is considered by many to be a superior liqueur to triple sec, it does not work as well with this recipe. If you want to use cointreau try one of these great recipes which are balanced for the appropriate proportions:
