I actually have those coasters – so I know they’re from Crate & Barrel, but it was quite a while ago that they carried them, so I don’t see them online anymore. You might try in-store though! -

On step 2 at the bottom when it says stir in the margarita mix, is that the mix that you just made or is that a seperate ingredient?

The recipe is referring to the mix you just made in step 1. I can see how that’s confusing the way it’s worded though
