The Ultimate Margarita Recipe – On The Rocks!

These Sprite margaritas are the best I’ve ever tasted — they look, smell, and taste more “pure” than any others I’ve had. A successful and upscale Mexican cantina nearby makes them. I always assumed they were using all top-shelf ingredients until I found out their secret: lemon-lime soda! Now I’m able to recreate them at home.
