Directions:

1. Dip rim of glass in lime juice, then dip in Kosher Salt.

4. Fill almost to top with limeade.
5. Add a splash of orange juice.
6. Garnish with a lime wedge.

I am not a huge fan of triple sec, which is traditionally used in margaritas!  It only comes in a big bottle and for as much as you use in a margarita, you would have to go through like 10 bottles of tequila just to use one bottle of triple sec.  Orange juice serves the same purpose as triple sec, just minus the alcohol content, plus it has many more uses!  Just add more tequila!

I also use limeade verses sour mixes.  It's the same thing, it costs less, and it's more tasty!  Unless you use a restaurant grade sour mix, most of them are kind of nasty!  Also, those bottles of sour don't go very far, and on a nacho night like tonight, we need more than 3 margaritas!

If you cut the crust off the bread, it becomes calorie free!"
