The best margarita I've ever made at home. It will take 5-6 limes depending on their size and depending on the size of shot glass you're using as a measure. The shaker I use has a shot glass that covers the strainer area. Using my shaker's shot glass for the measure I was able to get two nice size margarita's out of the above recipe. The sweet to sour is perfect in this recipe.
