Mango Margaritas

I love margaritas, but sometimes they are a bit too sour for my taste.  This is a good way to balance the sweet and sour flavors.  See the instructions below the recipe to make a large pitcher-sized batch instead of one drink.  This is an alcoholic drink, and intended for adults only!

Ingredients:
salt and lime juice (optional)
1 shot tequila
1 shot triple sec
1 shot margarita mix
1 shot mango juice (I used Kern's brand, available in cans or a large carton)
Ice cubes

Directions:
1.  If you like your margaritas with salt, wet the rim of a margarita glass with lime juice and then dip it in a plate full of salt.  Add some ice cubes to your glass and set aside. 
2.  Combine liquid ingredients and a handful of ice cubes in a shaker.  Shake until well mixed, then strain into your margarita glass.

NOTE: For large parties, try making a pitcher of margaritas.  Simply add equal parts of all liquids (I start at eight shots of each) to a pitcher, then place it in the refrigerator.  When you're ready for a drink, give the pitcher a quick stir (to evenly mix the alcohol) and then pour into glasses filled with ice.  Easy!
