Rose's is what you'd use if you don't have fresh lime. Most bars
don't want to keep fresh limes in stock, so we're stuck with either
Rose's or sweet & sour mix. It took me literally decades to be able
to stomach a Margarita made with sweet & sour mix. Maybe that's why I
prefer salted rims... to knock out that phony flavor.

I'm cheap (limes are crazy expensive, IMO) and lazy when I make
margaritas at home. It's generally a party when I make them and using
limeade is so much easier than squeezing limes for a crowd. I also
make as slushy margaritas for a party. It has something to do with
using a blender and feeling more like a bartender.
