Tips and Substitutions

• Dietary Needs: If you need a lower-calorie option, you can use a sugar-free sweetener instead of agave syrup. To make it vegan, ensure your sweetener is plant-based.
• Fresh Ingredients: Using fresh mango and pineapple will enhance the flavor, but frozen fruits can work in a pinch.
• Adjusting Sweetness: Taste your margarita before serving. If it’s too tart, add more agave syrup.

Troubleshooting Tips

• Too Tart: If the margarita is too sour, increase the agave syrup gradually until it reaches your desired sweetness.
• Too Thick: If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of water or more lime juice to thin it out.
• Overly Sweet: If it’s too sweet, add a splash of extra lime juice to balance it out.
