Made this as listed and really liked it. I was looking for a lighter non-mix version to use up some limes. Also, I really like triple sec in my marqs. The egg white was something different and I thought why not through in a lil protein to get my froth. I'm going to try this with splenda in place of the power sugar and see how it turns out.

I used this Margarita En Jarra recipe as a jumping off point for a pitcher of margaritas on the rocks. Assuming the eggwhites were to froth-up the slushy kind of margaritas, I omitted them for the 'rocks' version. A 16 oz (quite expensive) bottle of organic squeezed lime juice helped out in doubling, tripling, and quadrupling this recipe-- which was necessary to fill up my party pitcher. Very good recipe for controlling the tang-to-sweet ratio in Margaritas (for those of us who don't care for bottled mixes). Limit guests to two a piece...
