Thanks MUCH miriam! I tried a similar recipe adding lemon-lime soda and it made the lime flavor a little too bland. Alcohol taste really stuck out... Tequila / triple sec ratio didn't seem quite right... This recipe really is delicious! The balance of lime, tequila, and triple sec is the most perfect I've tasted and you couldn't ask for an easier recipe. Note... When he says 1/2 can of frozen limeade concentrate, he means half a 12-ounce can or a whole 6-ounce can. I mix the alcohol and frozen limeade first, then fill the rest of a 5-cup blender with ice. My new blender is 6-cup, so I have to be careful not to add too much ice or it can get really thick for pouring and drinking. I keep my tequila and triple sec in the fridge... don't know if that helps much or not. Mine came out perfect though... If you're in the market for a blender... I just bought a Hamilton Beach Classic Chrome. It's amazing and not too pricy. Perfect, incredibly fine, slushy texture. No larger ice chunks at all. It's one of the few blenders capable of of making slushy drinks thicker than you'd even want them and still moving the entire contents of the blender through the blades. From what I've read about the texture of the ice out of those fancy Margarita ice shaving machines, this is even better, cheaper and more versatile. A third vote for miriam’s recipe!

Takes a bit more planning, but I think they're better than using the blender. I’ve had good luck skipping the ice and freezing them in an ice cream maker.

It's easy, cheap, and works fantastically. I stumbled across the recipe on my own when limeade was all that was in the house and I was floored. Perfect consistency and flavor!
