Notes
I like my Margarita's on the tart side. You may wish to increase the sugar amount if you like yours sweeter. I would suggest you make the recipe as is the first time and add honey to the margarita, if needed, and then adjust for future recipes.
If you prefer the more traditional flavor, simply add some orange juice when you add your liquor.
