I made this for the neighborhood Margarita bash on Cinco de Mayo weekend and these were a bigger hit than the frozen ones.  I substituted cognac for the brandy, and used Triple Sec instead of Cointreau.  I made about 1.5 gallons and used a glass dispenser and shook with ice and poured into rimmed cups.  It was very tasty! 
One note: I used a nice, middle of the road gold tequila, made from 100% agave (Legado). It makes the difference!

I make my own sweet and sour and use good tequila and brandy.  Love this recipe!

Finally my hunt for the perfect make at home margarita is over!!! This is absolutely delicious and tastes exactly like the chain restaurant one. I can't wait to make it for all of my presidente margarita lover friends!! Happy National Margarita Day!!

AMAZING! I tried it with store bought sweet and sour mix, it was just OK.
After I made my own, it was excellent!

So Yummy!! Not super strong. Everyone enjoyed it.

I used Herra Dura tequila and Triple Sec (since I didn't have Cointreau on hand). Tastes just like the original! Definitely 5 star
