1 part Lime juice
1 part tequilla
1 part Grand Marnier
Ice

Any suggestions to tweak this? How about some other homemade margarita recipes?

The smell of tequila makes me gag. Bad experience.

I do:

2 parts tequilla
1 part lime juice
1/2-3/4 part agave nectar (though for the wife I make it almost 1:1 with lime)



I don't see why you couldn't hit it with a splash of Grand Marnier though. The recipe I have came from Tommy's in San Francisco. LINK

That sounds pretty good, but I prefer to go heavier on the tequila to lime juice ratio and use less of the Grand Marnier or Cointreau (I prefer Cointreau) My recipe:

3 parts silver tequila
2 parts fresh squeezed lime juice
1 part Cointreau
over ice

I would use Triple Sec in place of Grand Mariner.

Grand Marnier or Cointreau are necessary to a top shelf marg for me. You make just about any marg taste great with those ingredients.

If you go the "splash of OJ" route, also add a tiny dash of olive juice. Shake with ice then strain into a glass in order to make the Austin-created Mexican Martini.

Enjoying one right now, with the OJ component coming fresh-squeezed from my neighbor's Satsuma tree. That makes it healthy, right?

Results of last night's taste testing:

Version 1

1.5 oz Hornitos Reposado
1.5 oz lime juice
1.5 oz agave nectar
0.5 oz Grand Marnier

Version 2

2 oz lime juice
1.5 oz tequila
1.5 oz agave nectar

Version 3

2 oz tequila
1 oz lime juice
3/4 oz agave nectar

Version 4

2 oz lime juice
1.5 oz tequila
0.25 oz agave nectar

Version 5

2 oz tequila

Of the five, Version 1 and Version 2 were the most balanced and the ones I preferred.

Salud.
