In preparation for our first beach trip of the summer I need a good simple margarita recipe. I would also like a good skinny on the rocks recipe if possible. Thanks.

I make mine equal parts Tequila and Cointreau and then add lime juice to taste.

Going off memory an easy skinny margarita is made with with crystal lite lemonade, diet 7Up, and tequila.

Do you have a vitamix? If so, this One is tasty! Not really skinny, but tasty

I need to try orange juice rather than triple sec. This seems like it would be a pretty sweet drink though

I go with 2 parts reposado tequila, one part triple sec, one part lime juice, and a little agave nectar. Shake the shite out of it and pour it over crushed ice.

Tequila, triple sec, ice. Blend well. Then pour it down the sink and fix yourself a bourbon drink

Tyler's Ultimate Margarita

Recipe courtesy of Tyler Florence
Show: Tyler's Ultimate
Episode: Fajitas

Ultimate Margarita

Total:5 min
Active: 5 min
Yield: 4 servings
Level: Easy

Ingredients

1 lime, halved
Coarse salt
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice, from about 4 limes
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 cup orange-flavored liqueur (recommended: Grand Marnier)
1/4 cup Triple Sec
1 cup gold tequila
Ice
1/2 can good quality lager-style beer
Lime wheels, for garnish

Directions

To salt the margarita glasses, rub the outside rims of 4 big glasses with a cut lime and press them lightly into a plate of kosher salt, to coat.

Combine the lime juice, sugar, orange liqueur, Triple Sec, tequila, and a big handful of ice in a cocktail shaker (or blender). Shake the margarita really well, for a good 20 seconds, add a splash of beer and strain into the salt rimmed glasses filled with ice. Garnish with a lime wheel.

The juice of two limes really tames the sweetness. I find it to be a good balance between sweet and tart.

I think the Added spice is nice in this mix. You can make this in a gallon. I think with all the ingredients (750ml type) you can make 2 gallons. Garnish with a pepper.

Picacita

1 part Triple sec
1 part Cointreau
2 part Sweet & sour
1 part Sauza Silver
1 part Sauza Gold
2 part simple syrup
1 part Grand Marnier
Lime to taste
Mezzetta Peperoncini juice to taste (spice)

We used to use this recipe at the bar I worked at. I like to shake it well with ice and then strain over ice with a squeeze of lime.

2 parts tequila
1 part triple sec (Grand Marnier for more flavor)
1 part Rose's lime
splash of sweet and sour

I totally misread that, I was thinking 2 tablespoons, like the tequila and orange juice
