Tips and Substitutions

• Dietary Needs: If someone is watching their sugar intake, consider using a sugar-free sweetener or just fresh lime juice for a tangy flavor without the calories.
• Tequila Options: Use your favorite brand of tequila; silver or blanco tequila works best for a clean flavor. If you prefer a more complex taste, reposado tequila adds a nice touch.
• Berry Freshness: If you can’t find frozen berries, fresh berries can be used, but you may want to add a handful of ice to maintain the frozen texture.
