This is the blended version which means the cocktail mix was thrown into the blender with ice and processed to make a thick iced drink.
There are many formulas for mixing a Margarita but the most common ratio is 50% tequila, 25% Triple Sec and 25% juice. Feel free to experiment to come up with the ratio that tastes best to you.
How much syrup? That depends on how sweet you want your drink. I always start with equal amounts of lime juice and sugar.
