Wifey & I just demolished the last of the tequila so later it is off to the packy for more. I am going to investigate meat cooked over fire during the interlude.

heh-heh. in nearby New Hamster, the liquor stores are state owned, and the tequila (in 1.5-L bottles) is cheap... and there is no sales tax.

this is very nice:
Grand Marnier Margarita
30 ml/1 oz Grand Marnier liqueur
30 ml/1 oz Tequila
30 ml/1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice
Pour all ingredients over ice in a cocktail shaker. Shake to your liking and strain into a margarita glass rimmed with salt. Garnish with a lime wedge.

Margaritas (& my lack of self-control) definitely impacted this AM's yard sale plan............

This is very close to mine except a bit lighter on the tequila and with salt. I add ice afterwards & stir but am thinking I want to try a shaker.

I usually do fresh lime juice, cointreau (or however itas spelled) tequila, and a little bar syrup. Tried my wife's recipe at a party the other night and it while simple, was the fav:
1/2 can limeade, 1/2 can cointreau, 1/2 can tequila in blender, fill with ice, blend. Oh well.

Your wife's recipe sounded familiar, so I looked up my "bulk" Margarita recipe:
1 can limeade ("lime drink" is too sweet)
1 can tequila
1/2 can triple sec
+ ice, blend.
Using this recipe I made up quite a few pint Mason jars of margaritas for a party at our riding club in the mid-1980's. The party, thereafter known as the "Mexican Fiasco", is still mentioned 20+ years later.

Yes, it goes against all my instincts of wanting to use just the right stuff and so on, but at the end of the day I have to admit, its pretty dam good.:yes: Agreed on the Lime drink, I think we used minute maid limeade if I remember correctly.
Here's to the Mexican Fiasco!

1/3 tequila - you don't have to spring for an anejo, but get something 100% agave. Avoid blended tequilas like Cuervo Gold.
1/3 lime juice - FRESH, not from concentrate. Yes, it's a pain in the ass.
1/3 orange liquor - The quality is even more important here than it is with the tequila. Skimping by buying Triple Sec will ruin your expensive, time-consuming margaritas. Go for Grand Marnier or, better yet, Cointreau.
That's it. Nothing else, nothing less. Serve over ice, garnish with salt if desired. Margaritas the winters860 way...
