For an extra burst of flavor, try using freshly squeezed lime and orange juice instead of sweet and sour mix. If you prefer a less sweet margarita, reduce the amount of confectioners' sugar used for rimming the glasses or adjust the amount of sweet and sour mix to your liking. Chill the tequila, amaretto, and orange liqueur before mixing for an even colder and more refreshing drink. Experiment with different types of tequila. A reposado will add a more complex flavor profile.
