You can get lime juice in little bottles, like the lemon juice, in most decent sized supermarkets.

Otherwise you can find fresh limes all over the place these days.

I wouldn't use cordial.

Try to get proper triple sec, although Cointreau will do. Gold tequilla a must. Freshly squeezed limes a must. Don't chicken out on the salt.

Lay on back with the bottles in your hands

Pour into mouth until you can't swallow any more.

The OH is never happy after I've done that, though.

If your really lazy

http://www.barmans.co.uk/products/product.asp?ID=2... or http://www.musikick.co.uk/Items/drink_1157-4558

fresh lime is always the best though (sugar syrup sweetens it up a bit).

Just buy a fecking lime and squeeze it????

if tesco's has sold out (pretty unlikely) then most local asian grocers have loads.

confused

Cointreau?

In a Margarita?

nono

Half decent tequila yes. The cornerstone is just the right amount of freshly squeezed lime juice. And don't over-salt the rim (ahem).
