What do y'all use? This stuff is a little more expensive than the average mix but makes really great margaritas. Product testing right now.

All margarita mixes are terrible, and will give you a big headache. Basically it is fake lime juice and sweetener. Instead, use fresh squeezed limes and 100% Blue Agave Sweetener (you can get in any grocery store). My recipe, I have posted this before...A lime squeezer makes it easy. I squeeze the limes first, use that as 1 part, then add the rest of the ingredients..

Pretty much how I do it, sometimes I don't have the Blue Agave sweetener. I'' use one pack of pink or yellow type sweetener. Then after the first one or two, I'll forget all the other ingredients but the Tequila over ice. Good stuff.

I think technically, the sweetener is optional. I remember as a kid in Mexico, my parents ordered a margarita, and I watched the bartender make it, he just poured Tequila over ice and squeezed a lime in it.

Herradura and Gran Gala over here. I don't like granular sugar because the drinks always has some grit.
Used to use Sauza Commerativo but...they don't make it any more.
Inexpensive and it tasted good......

We’ve been drinking this from H‑E‑B. Good stuff. They’ve got several flavors. Lime is my favorite.

Not trying to highjack, but I prefer the bloody mary cocktail more these days. (less sugar)

What mix do TFFers like best for those?

J.P. you better start another thread for Bloody Mary's..

I like Agave Azul for a store mix.

I have a question on this, I enjoy margarita from time to time but I have never had one made with wine that was any good-
Is this like “a pretty good margarita for being made with wine” or does it taste close to the traditional kind made with liquor?

There is a driver thru margarita place in Hachie. I haven't been yet. I think it's down by Atwoods

A TRUE Margarita is

Takillya
Triple sec
Lime juice, fresh

Diet Mountain Dew, , Hornitos Tequila, Cointreau, OJ and a Lime. Big Yeti cup

I have found that I like the mixes that use real lime juice. Real sugar or agave nectar is also better for sweetener, but the real lime juice is key. You can usually tell on the shelf when they are separated and there are solid particles at the bottom of the bottle.

Simple recipe for a perfect margarita:
1 part - good tequila (think $30 bottle)
1 part - triple sec (or orange liqueur)
2 parts - margarita mix

Shake vigorously with ice, strain and pour over fresh ice.

Addendum: I hate hate hate the "skinny" or sugar-free versions of margarita mix. They have a horrible after taste even worse than diet soft drinks, and not even tequila can cover it up.

I think it’s behind that new sno-cone place-
I was thinking it was probably the wine kind, but I’ll look and see, I’m wondering now.
