Reviews
I made this substituting Triple Sec for Simple Syrup because I love the orange taste in margaritas, and I used 1 1/2 oz of it due to the fresh limes being so tart. It made for a delicious cocktail!
This cocktail was a great hit .in fact I was making these drinks for all of my friends I ran out of tequila to make my own drink
