Here's what I've been doing, the original post I found on Atkins:

Now there is a way to make a wonderful margarita that will not blow it for you. Bring some fresh limes and use those instead of sweet and sour. 1oz of tequila, 1/2 oz of triple sec, 2 limes squeezed. Serve on the rocks in a salted rimmed glass. This is the original margarita, and it is stronger, but you just drink it slower. I actually prefer these.
I agree that margaritas made this way are tastier than the ones using the mix. But do be aware that triple sec has 11 g. carbs per ounce. That's 5.5 per 1/2 oz, plus a couple from the lime juice. Figure 7 or 8 per margarita.
I think this tastes much better than margaritas made with mix.
