As written we found these to be a bit flat, not sure why so much water is added. After tasting I increased the lemon and lime juice to give it some zing. I also used half the amount of sugar, and with the added juice found it to be just the sweetness level. Made for Best of 2013 Tag

Excellent margaritas! This is the flavor profile that I love in a good margarita. I halved the recipe for 3 people and we had plenty for seconds (plus a little more). The only change I made was to add a bit more fresh orange juice. Delicious served with crushed ice and a salted rim!

Ahhhhh....sitting on the deck, watching the sun set over the lake and enjoying this wonderful margarita. A great way for using up fresh lemons, limes and orange juice. Molly, this is a great margarita and thanks for sharing.

These were a little too sweet for us but still a very tasty & refreshing treat on a hot day. Next time I will use 1/3 to 1/2 cup of sugar rather than a full cup as the triple sec adds a lot of sweetness as well. Great recipe for drinks for a group!
