Thanks for the comment... I mixed my own 'fresh juice' mix ahead of time.
Though now the proper 'old school' way is to use fresh lime juice and agave syrup, right into the drink. Every bar's needs are different! There is no defintive, end all, only one way to make a margarita. I'm only showing you 'one high volume method'. But you are correct... I try Cheers!NOT to use a sweet and sour these days, and almost never use a pre-fab mix. Cheers!
Thank u for using homemade sweet and sour! in my opinion sweet and sour is not necessary at all in a maragrita i just use lime juice balancesd with agave nectar and then cointrau and tequila!
@habacuk1985 A good homemade sweet & sour is essential to a good margarita, as is fresh juice in any juice cocktail. Cointreau is also a great product! Agave is a great call... I've even infused agave syrup with fresh thyme leaves. This makes a really interesting drink, with whatever you use it in. Stay tuned and thanks! Cheers!
@Rowdytheskater Thanks for the comment! There are alot of 'gourmet' salts out on the market now. Give some of them a try. I've been using a 'Murrey River' pink sea salt from Australia that is a great addition to a margarita.
@syrinx32123 You're absolutely correct... I had a pour spout that was pouring slowly. So I had to increase the hang time to get my portion correct. Good eye!
@syrinx32123 you said a 1.5 oz of tequila and triple sec. But it seemed like you poured the tequila for 6 seconds... The pour spout was running slow... but good eye... thanks!
@sentacore Thanks for the comment! Just to clarify... I'm not trying to show you the only way to make a margarita. I'm showing you how 'I make margaritas'! MY GUESTS LOVE THEM!!!
good question. I don't know... but what I can you is to make small batches so you don't need to preserve it. This recipe is pretty sturdy and will last a week. All the shelf stable mixes you can buy off the shelf give me heartburn, this is why, making your own fresh sweet & sour is the best... party on!
So... my homemade sweet & sour is 2 parts fresh lime juice, 1 part fresh lemon juice, 1/2 part fresh orange juice, 2 parts simple syrup and 2 parts water. If you can muddle limes, lemons and oranges and add the pulp too, you will the best sweet & sour money can't buy. All the love, The Drink Chef.

You used a mix? Nooooo, no sweet & sour. People and their sugar-laden tastes these days.... and since when is a margarita supposed to be "frothy"???

My favorite part of the margarita is getting a little salt every sip, the straw for me is really poinless.
