re: Been using this Margarita recipe a lot lately...very simple

i use fresh squeezed lime juice, agave nectar and tequila. best (and strongest) margaritas I have ever had

The same but use 2 parts tequila

I get the, "But that's not a real margarita!"

I don't care, that's the real margarita's fault not mine.

I venture to say anyone who's stepped foot into Tommy's now considers that a real margarita. I lived real close to it for a while and even though I wasn't crazy about the food, my wife was, I never missed a chance to go.

My wife and I made the mistake of drinking two pitchers of the house, Hurradura Silver I think, margaritas once and we almost could even get up to leave.

People who argue shite like that for something like a margarita are just ignorant douches -- which are the worst kind.

There's no "real" definitive margarita. The origins of the drink are not even clear, much less the definitive set in stone contents, besides tequila and some semblance of lime.

1.5 ounces each of tequila, lime juice, and agave nectar. 1/2 ounce of Grand Marnier

This is my recipe as well. But I use a little less agave nectar and add a splash of OJ.

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?

Just made some with some freshly juiced satsumas. Damn good.

Add 2/3 shot of triple sec
