Having upgraded our Osterizer to a Vitamix, we've arrived at the point of foregoing lime juicing for Margaritas as a waste of time & nutrients. Instead of all that squeezing, we quickly strip the rind off uncut limes with a veg peeler and throw the whole naked fruit into the blender, pre-blending a bit before the final addition of ice. The acrid characteristic of the lime rind adds a more ascetic - dare I say "adult" - aspect to the drink; temper with more syrup if you like.

Simple syrup? Whazzat?
Edie
A dash of agave syrup is a really good (more authentic?) substitute for the simple syrup.
Arthur
Triple Sec tends to be less smooth, since it is alcohol based, than Cointreau, Grand Marnier, or La Belle Orange which are made with brandy .
Charlotte
As tempting as it is do not use the suggestion to put the whole lime in (after peeling)
Randolph
Perhaps it'd be more helpful to explain why you recommend not putting a whole lime in instead of just telling people not to do it.

Sugar & water solution. 50/50
Maxwell
Since you asked: Don’t add whole limes because it will make it incredibly bitter and, frankly, incorrect.
Tessa
On a day nearing 100 degrees in California, this is nectar of the gods.
Marg Lover
Any ideas on how to covert this recipe to be made in an ice cream freezer? I assume add water instead of ice. It how much?

Joy Brogan
Wonderful recipe! Made with Grand Marnier and agave, since that's what I had. A keeper!

Simple syrup is 1 cup of water and a 1up of white sugar. Combine, stir, boil on medium, let cool. It can keep in the refrigerator for a month or two.
Ben
We found it to be a little bitter. I am thinking dialing back on the Cointreau. I added more simple syrup and that helped.
nina jayme
I like making this without simple syrup. I throw in a bit of Swerve (nonsugar substitute) for the perfect amount of sweetness.
FH
Can this be made non-alcoholic, kind of like frozen lemonade/limeade??
Tessa
Yes. My kids used to order virgin margaritas at restaurants so they could have what was, in essence, a lime Slurpee.
Martha Churchill
8/25/20 Needed about 3 x the simple syrup to overcome tartness of limes. It took an entire bag to squeeze enough juice. Tasty. Potent. Not restaurant style “frozen”—less slushy.
Mar
Too limey for my taste, and I like a more sour drink! Will adjust ratio next time.

Sierra
I tried using peeled, halved limes and it ended up a bit...chewy. I just have a regular blender so maybe a tip best left for the vitamix. Still a very tasty way to end a day in quarantine though.
dennis
I like to add some tripple sec to the mix
