From Southern Living magazine, April 2011. I've not tried this recipe, but it sounds really good. NOTE: This recipe has quite a bit of sugar in it, so for my family, I would personally experiment with it using Splenda to cut the sugar for a diabetic dessert. I would also use gluten-free AP flour.

  • Don't skimp on the lime juice: Lime juice is key to the margarita's signature flavor. Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best results.
  • Sweeten to taste: The amount of sweetener you add to your margarita is a matter of personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more until you reach the desired sweetness.
  • Garnish with a lime wedge and a sprinkle of salt: This classic garnish adds a touch of flavor and visual appeal to your margarita.
