- Place all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with 4 ice cubes and shake until cold.
- Strain the margarita into the glass with the salted rim. Fill the glass with ice and serve (consider using our clear ice for an artisan touch).

SUE'S ITALIAN MARGARITAS
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!

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.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your margaritas will taste. This is especially true for the limes, which should be juicy and ripe.
- Chill your ingredients: Chilling the ingredients before you make the margaritas will help them blend together more smoothly and create a more refreshing drink.
- Use a good quality tequila: The tequila is the most important ingredient in a margarita, so it's worth investing in a good quality bottle. Look for a tequila that is 100% agave and has a smooth, slightly sweet flavor.
- Don't over-sweeten your margaritas: Margaritas are traditionally made with just a touch of sweetness, so be careful not to add too much sugar or simple syrup. A little bit of sweetness goes a long way.
- Garnish your margaritas with fresh lime wedges: A lime wedge is the perfect garnish for a margarita. It adds a pop of color and flavor to the drink.
