Notes
Tropical fruit that I have used include pitaya (dragonfruit) in both red and white varieties, mango, guayaba (guava), and maracuya (passionfruit). Our favorite was a combination of guayaba and maracuya! The prettiest is, of course, the red pitaya margarita...
A decent quality tequila is important. Choose a 100% agave silver tequila for excellent results.
Fresh lime juice is important. I love the little local key limes I found at the local farmers' market.
Orange blossom water adds an interesting hint of bitter orange, but is totally optional. It's a distillation of bitter orange blossoms, and is commonly used in Mediterranean, Moroccan, Algerian cuisines...
