Ingredients

- Lime wedge: A lime wedge is used for garnishing the margarita and it’s really up to you what type of lime you prefer using for this purpose.
- Key Lime juice: 2 tablespoons of key lime juice is necessary for making this margarita and it will add a nice tartness to the drink.
- Agave nectar: 1 ounce of agave nectar is required for making this margarita and it’s what adds the sweetness to balance out the tartness of lime juice.
- Ice: Ice is necessary for chilling and blending all the ingredients together.
