Water: Adjust the amount of water to alter the strength of the margarita mix. Do not adjust the alcohol measurements. If they are too strong, use one cup of water in the next batch instead of a half cup.
Ice: The most important thing is - DO NOT crush the ice. Use large cubes in the blender. They will lose some size in the mixing process. Do not allow the ice to become a puree. Many people do not like their margaritas with crushed ice because it will freeze the roof of your mouth and can cause a headache.
Salt rimmed glass: To create a salt rimmed glass, take one of the lemon rinds from above and rub the drinking surface of the glass so it is barely moist. Dip the edge of the glass into salt. Table salt work fine. Garnish with a lime wedge, which is merely a decoration, although some folks like to squeeze the lime juice into their drink as it goes down the hatch.
Some people do not like salt on the glass. Although 8 out of 10 like the salt, I have found that women are generally the ones who don�t. You will make points with these folks if you can remember their preference in advance. Keep an open mind. These margs are very good without salt.
