PERFECT BLUE AGAVE MARGARITA
A very simple and refreshing margarita made with silver tequila, fresh limes and blue agave nectar. Blue agave nectar is a very light and natural sweetener made from the blue agave plant. You can find it at your supermarket (Whole Foods/Sprouts) or online (Amazon). No need for additional sweeteners, triple sec or anything else. Just pure and simple and very smooth. My wife, who hates margaritas on the rocks, loves this mix.
