- 2 tablespoons (about 1 lemon) freshly squeezed lemon juice

Pour the salt onto a small plate. Rub the outside rim of each glass with the cut lime. Dip each glass into the reserved salt; set aside.

Place lime juice, lemon juice, triple sec, and 3 cups ice in a blender, and puree on low speed until completely blended. Add tequila and blend for 2 seconds. Pour margaritas into the reserved glasses, over ice, and serve immediately.
This is The Barefoot Contessa's margarita recipe. I have made it many times, and I have to agree, it's the BEST! The fresh juices make all the difference.
Her Perfect Margarita recipe says that 1 3/4 cups of tequila is used for a serving of six, but the comments on there said it was to strong. I'd use 1 1/4 cups of tequila for this recipe.
Kind of wondering myself.
The recipe fails to say how much tequila is needed. 1 Cup? 1 1/2 C? anyone know?
