If you scroll down a bit to look at the "looking back" posts, of the drinks I posted near this date over the last SIX (!!) years I've been doing this...if you pay any attention to what I've been posting this summer...you'll notice I have a thing for margaritas in the summer. I am not apologizing for that. They are delicious.
BUT, many dozens of margarita recipes in, this is the very first one that hasn't used limes. AT ALL. In any form. Which I even found a little alarming when making it! I don't know what to do with a margarita without limes! But the lemons were a nice change from all the lime-based margaritas I've made and this was still delicious. And lemons are that's far of a stretch from limes, not the same but similar. Lemons still feel appropriately summer-y.
You may also notice that this is a small drink. I made it according to the recipe and this is what turned out. I didn't try to expand this because I made a different margarita before this one, but that will post later, that was SUPER strong and I was NOT inclined to make that mistake again. So I left this as is. And it still made for a perfectly sized drink while we did a fire in the firepit with the boys (and this was not such a strong drink that we were compromised in having the boys around a (small) fire!).
The taste was great, they were easy to make, and they gave me an excuse to buy lemons! It all worked out well!
