Notes
I like to add at least 1/4 cup of chopped fresh fruit to these simple and fresh margaritas. For more fruit flavor, you could add 1/4 cup of your favorite natural fruit juice or agua fresca.
Orange liqueur is good, but I really suggest you switch it out for fresh squeezed orange juice! So refreshing!
