You could just use sweet and sour instead of the lime and sugar. Blend it with ice to make a killer frozen margarita.

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.

Never put sweet and sour in a true rita,

Gross! Once you use fresh squeezed lime juice...you can't ever go back to "sweet and sour."

I would skip the triple sec if possible, grand marnier or cointreau are far superior.

someone on this board gave me a recipe, and it was the best damned margarita I have ever had, lemme see if i can dig it up

Glad you asked. This is something I've put a lot of work into over the years. For one Rita:

1/2 oz. Lime juice
1/4 oz. Lemon juice
1/4 oz. Simple syrup
1 1/2 oz. Tequila (preferably a decent quality respasado)
1/2 oz patron citronge
Pinch of salt

I will usually use a mid-range resposado el major or 1800. I don't think it needs the good stuff, but don't use bad stuff like cuervo.

This is like boiling crawfish so I'm here to tell you that you're all doing it wrong.

Equal parts of the following 3 ingredients

Fresh squeezed lime juice
Whatever your favorite tequila is
Cointreau

Serve on the rocks. If you even think about blending it you either have a vagina or you need to get an operation and get one.
