    If you're used to mixes or this traditional preparation is too tart for you, try adding Agave Nectar (found at good grocery stores), simple syrup or sugar to up the sweetness. Using a straw taste the cocktail from the shaker (you can cap it - see the Pisco Sour video for an example), add sweetener if needed, then re-shake to mix.

    I have to admit I'm a cheater when it comes to margaritas, and have always relied on mixes - this looks pretty easy and DELICIOUS. Can't wait to try it!
