I first tried this margarita on my honeymoon in Aruba. I think I could've had an entire pitcher to myself, but I settled for two glasses.
When we got home, I needed to figure out that recipe. Since my husband is a former bartender, he was up for the challenge. We tried a few combos and this was our favorite!
You can make them for a party in a margarita machine or in my favorite blender by Blendtec . I love a good icy margarita!

If you prefer a salted rim follow these instructions before pouring your margarita into the glass:
- Take a lime wedge and run it around the edge of the glass.
- Pour course salt onto a small plate and press or roll the glass rim into it.

If you like my glass you might want to try these from Wayfair; they're really sturdy and have that beautiful blue rim that will really make your salt pop!
