Juice of 2 limes 🍋‍🟩
Juice of 1 mandarin orange 🍊

Pour into previously rimmed margarita glasses 🍸🍸 half-filled with ice.

Makes two libations — one to share and one for you. 😀

Why yes, there’s a lot of alcohol in this drink… but you could find Margaritaville — and perhaps your last jigger of salt! 🧂 😂
