We use silver, or clear, tequila in this mint margaritas recipe. For an appealing presentation, rub the rims of the margarita glasses with lime wedges and dip the rims in a half-and-half mixture of kosher salt and sugar. Serve with fresh lime wedges as a garnish, if desired.

I knew that one cup of sugar was going to be way too much, as indicated by another poster. I only used two tablespoons vs. one cup - HUGE difference!
