My takeaway from the video is that she’s using my family’s longtime favorite affordable triple sec, relatively little-known and unsung LeRoux.

Probably best just to use Cointreau as triple sec can be all over the map depending on the brand. These are delicious and go down so easy. I normally tell my guess there’s a two drink limit. They usually laugh, but they get it now 😉
Vanessa Barker
Delicious! The lemon juice is the key!
Robert Ortiz
I have made this wonderful recipe multiple times…decided to change it up today and substituted the ice cubes with frozen pineapple chunks and coated the rim with sugar instead of salt. Either way is a winner!!!

BEST MARGARITAS EVER

Try using Grande Mariner or Cointreau instead of triple sec for better taste.
