A true Margarita is made with this recipe:

1 1/2 oz tequila
1/2 oz triple sec
1 oz lime

Triple Sec is cheap and now limes are cheap again. This will work much better than any mixers. You can play around with the ratios to your taste. You can add mango or blueberry or agave or anything else you would like to make it more towards your taste. You can sub out Curacao or Grand Mariner for the Triple Sec. It is fun making drinks from scratch, I promise.

Oh yeah, squeeze your own limes. Don't buy packaged lime juice.

I prefer to add Monin Organic Agave Syrup instead of the triple sec, although most any agave nectar will work just fine. The tricky part is calculating the tartness of the lime, due to the inherent uniqueness of each individual lime.

Based upon my experimentation, 3/4 oz satisfies a woman!

Also, suggest upping the tequila to 2oz.
