"I made this up on a hot day, and it was fantastically refreshing! Add more tequila if you like. *If you don't have a bottle of pre-mixed margarita, you can make the basic 3-2-1 recipe: 3oz Tequila, 2oz fresh lime juice, 1oz simple syrup, and 1/2-1tsp orange liqueur (I would increase each amount by 1). Enjoy!"
