Notes
To make this a skinny frozen margarita, substitute freshly squeezed orange juice instead of the orange liqueur.
Fresh Lime Juice. Fresh limes are always best.
Mint. Substitute for basil or completely omit.
Agave Nectar. Substitute for simple syrup, honey or maple syrup. If you prefer sweeter drinks, add more.
Tequila. Any Blanco or Reposado will do!
Orange Liqueur. Gran Marnier, Cointreau or Triple Sec. I typically refrain from Triple Sec as it has higher sugar therefore causing more headaches. In this case, quality is best.
