Most margs are made with more than a 'shot'. 2-3oz total of alcohol seems to be a good starting point. Remember that you're adding an equivalent amount of lime juice (or there abouts... some would suggest more). That gives you a minimum 4-6oz drink... hand shake and serve on ice. If the glass is bigger, use more of everything!
