Heat wave = Margaritas

A couple weekends ago I felt like margaritas (this was after having a margarita at King's Fish House, an awesome one at that) so we got the recipe off of Webtender and tried it: limes, tequila, triplesec* and salt. It was awful. Hubby added sugar. Still undrinkable. We put them in the refrigerator for half an hour, then they were drinkable, but just barely. They were really, really sour. Hubby said that he's never made margaritas (for the record, this was my first time ever trying) from scratch that were good, that you need margarita mix for it to be good. Who knew?

*Yes, I know that for a good margarita you should not use triplesec and should in fact, using Grand Marnier, but as I also will not be drinking for a long time in the future, it seemed a waste to buy more bottles of alcohol and just have them collect dust.
