VARIATIONS:

The orange liqueur is central to a good margarita, adding its sweetness to counter the spirit of the Tequila and the tang of the lime juice. Generally either Triple Sec or Cointreau are used but Grand Marnier is also an option. Blackberry-flavoured liqueur is another alternative. Frozen margaritas are essentially a melted alcoholic granita! The ingredients can either be poured over crushed ice or whizzed up in a blender with a few ice blocks.
