California Farm Light Mango Margeritas

Traditional margeritas are strong 40 proof drinks and made with lime juice and tequila. I make a 20% mango and strawberry liqueurs with vodka, from which we make light 8% strawberry margeritas and mango margeritas with wine. The liqueurs are 20%, the wine is 12 percent, that makes 16%, and the ice cubes dilute the drink to 8%. Refreshing, these margaritas taste better to me than the strong drinks.
