Do You Need Triple Sec for a Margarita?
While many recipes call for triple sec when making a margarita, I am not using it in this Texas Margarita. I think that it really depends on what liquor you like whenever you making a drink. Or whatever you have on hand.
Can I Use Different Fruit Liquors?
The best part of this drink is that you can change it around to fit what you have on hand or what you like. You can use any flavor fruit liquors you like. Strawberry would be a fantastic choice.
