Sue's Italian Margaritas image

This refreshing margarita has citrus undertones and is the perfect mix of sweet and sour. It's actually a little on the sweet side. Amaretto is a special touch and gives this typically Mexican drink a little Italian flair. If you use the ingredients Susan recommends, you'll have the perfect cocktail. Cheers!

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 oz José Cuervo tequila
2 oz triple sec
1 oz amaretto
2 oz Rose's lime juice
4 oz Mountain Dew
margarita salt
ice cubes

Steps:

  • 1. HINT:#1 Do NOT use any other lime juice or soda other than listed. You will not get the awesome taste of my recipe. I tried it and it doesn't taste good. HINT:#2 The recipe above is enough for 2-3 drinks depending on the size of glass used. I usually double the recipe that way you will have more for refills.
  • 2. Mix together the first 5 ingredients in a blender. (If you double the ingredients then pour out half into a pitcher or you will have a mess.)
  • 3. Add a couple large handfuls or a little more of ice cubes and blend/crush.
  • 4. You will have small chunks of ice which is good. (If you doubled the recipe then repeat the process.)
  • 5. Place margarita salt onto a small plate and wet the rims of your glass with the margarita liquid or water.
  • 6. Dip into the salt.
  • 7. Pour your drink. Sit back and enjoy how easy it goes down.

I'm not a fan of sweet margaritas, so I reduced the amount of sugar in the recipe. They were perfect!

I was a bit skeptical about making margaritas with limoncello, but I'm so glad I tried it. They were amazing!

I used tequila reposado instead of blanco, and it added a nice depth of flavor.
