These lime margaritas are made with the whole lime, including the rinds. Choose thin-skinned limes with plenty of juice and your lime margaritas will be bright and flavorful โ€” nothing reminiscent of a bottled mix! The lime rind adds beautiful color and a burst of tart, but not overly sweet, taste. You'll never make a margarita the old way again.
