SubLime Citrus Margarita

---

I have been making & refining this margarita recipe for over 20 years. Sure, it takes a little more work then cracking open one of those craft can cocktails or pouring a bottled margarita mixer into tequila, but it’s SOOOO worth it— trust me! The recipe is below, but as I always say, “Here’s how I make it, now you have fun experimenting with your favorite spirits, ratios & techniques so you can love it as much as I do!”
