I'd better be careful about things of this nature coming from my kitchen. It may not look good on the nightly news.

Left out the "splash" of juice, but it was awesome! It tasted like the Nekked Margaritas sold at this local bar for $10 a glass! =) I can't wait to make these for Cinco de Mayo!

This recipe was perfect! So refreshing. The fresh squeezed juices make all the difference in the world. I finally found the Agave Nectar at Whole Foods. In the event you cannot find the Agave, I feel that simple syrup (made with sugar and water) would absolutely work with this, but i have to say, Agave Nectar is so versatile in so many things, it was worth the hike to Whole Foods. Definitely try it!

This makes an excellent Margarita! Great balance of tart and sweet! Love the agave nectar in here. It dissolves really nicely too! I do recommend lots of crushed ice with this because the ice melts just right and dilutes the ingredients perfectly. *Made for My 3 Chefs*

Love this easy margarita with my fave tequila, Azuñia! The organic blanco is amazing, but with the splash of clementine juice, I especially love it with their reposado. I'll be drinking these all summer long!
