Step 2: Combine Ingredients

Place ice in your shaker. Measure 3/4 to an ounce of tequila and pour into the shaker, based on your strength preference. Measure and pour 1/2 ounce of the orange flavored liquor of your choice into the shaker (triple sec or Cointreau), then repeat the process with a 1/2 ounce of amaretto. Top off the mixture with an ounce of your sweet and sour mixture.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PzLw4vxFH4

Step 3: Shake Ingredients

Place the strainer and lid firmly on your shaker glass. Shake the mixture about 20 times to ensure you produce some ice chips in your mixture. Remove the lid on your shaker glass and strain your Italian margarita into your glass. You can stir, add ice cubes or salt the edge of the glass if desired.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PzLw4vxFH4
