It’s worth it and so much cheaper to make your own margaritas. The flavor options are limitless, but there is just something clean and pure about the classic lime margarita taste.
We make our own simple syrup with 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water. You won’t boil it, simply warm and stir your sugar water until the sugar is dissolved and your water appears clear. you’ll want to make this ahead since it needs to be cool to blend into your margarita. See the recipe and video here.
