Reviews
This was delish! Instead of the 2oz of triple sec, I used 1oz of the triple sec and 1 oz of elderflower liquor, very smooth.
I make this with half the sugar and mint instead of cilantro and they are phenomenal.
This is amazing!
This is my new favorite margarita.
This is wonderfully refreshing. It perfectly complimented the Carne Asada Tacos I made for dinner.
This was awesome. I wasn’t totally sure what it would taste like – but was the hit of the party and made me look great. Didn’t change a thing, just left it sit in shaker awhile to let some of the ice melt.
