El Tiempo in Houston has my favorite.


But homemade is still the best.

Reposado
Grand marnier
Agave Nectar
Fresh lime juice

Nothing else needed.

Why celebrate something that is not celebrated in Mexico?

Excuse to get hammered at a Mexican place while listening to a mariachis band?

2 parts good tequila - Don Julio Blanco is the best
1 part Cointreau or Grand Marnier
1 part fresh squeezed lime juice.

Shake the shite out of it. Strain over fresh ice in a salt rimmed glass.

I like my margaritas tart sdd Agave nectar if you like it sweeter.

Homemade with the Margaritaville machine. Wife likes them light:
1-Packet crystal light margarita flavor
2-fresh squeezed limes
6oz of Tequila whatever kind
4oz of Patron Citronge
I think you have to add a little water to the pitcher, and flip the switch on the machine.

Good day to drink Irish Single Malts while the amateurs crowd into the Mexican joints.
