Notes
Use fresh lime juice for the best taste.
Use large ice cubes instead of small ones because they won't melt as quickly.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container like a mason jar or a bottle with a lid. Keep it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake before pouring over ice and serving.
Freezing: Pour your leftover margarita into an ice cube tray and store in the freezer for up to 1 month. When you're ready to enjoy, add the cubes to a blender and blend until smooth.
