re: I stink at making drinks apparently.....Need a good Margarita recipe.

2 limeade concentrates
15 oz clear tequila
6 light beers

Mix together and pour over ice

Wow, thanks for the input folks.

I'm going to buy most of these ingredients and try about three of these recipes this weekend (not the one with six beers).

Trout- will try yours for sure.

Planning on making up some for our Thanksgiving gathering.

Thanks again.

I usually make two for me and the misses

6oz Tequila
2oz lemon juice
2oz lime juice
2oz triple sec or Cointreau
1oz or less of simple syrup or agave nectar, I’ve actually switched this out for some different sweet tasting sparkling waters to drop some sweetness and orange seems to work usually a little more than 1oz if you go that route

INGREDIENTS

3 OZ. TEQUILA
1 OZ. GRAND MARINER
1½ OZ. LIME JUICE
1 OZ. HONEY WATER (1 PART HONEY, 1 PART WATER)
LIME CIRCLE
GLASS TYPE: OLD-FASHIONED

INSTRUCTIONS

Add ice to your old-fashioned glass.
Add the tequila, lime juice and honey water to your shaker with ice.
Shake.
Pour shaken contents into your prepared glass.
Top with Grand Mariner.
Artfully place your lime circle on top.
Enjoy.
Make another.
Enjoy that one too.

This is what I make at home and I love them. I just use agave nectar though instead of honey water.

2 oz good tequila
1 oz Grand Marnier (there’s a reason bars use this to elevate their margaritas above their house version)
Juice of 1 lime
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
1/2 oz of agave nectar

A cocktail snob would say that cocktails with citrus as an ingredient must be shaken, not stirred because it helps offset the acidity, imparts the right amount of water that alters the character, and helps chill the cocktail so that ice added after the pour will last longer and be less likely to dilute the margarita... but I honestly can’t tell the difference. Sometimes I feel like shaking, but when feeling lazy, I stir.

So when shaking, add ice to shaker and shake until you feel frost developing on the outside of your Boston shaker. Filter out the shaken ice as you pour into your glass, then add fresh ice to the poured cocktail.

Make your own simple syrup.. Heated water and sugar..
Fresh lime juice and silver tequila. Use a shaker..
Play with the measurements until it hits your sweet spot..

3 oz tequila
2 oz lime juice (fresh squeezed)
2 oz orange juice
1 oz simple syrup

Keep it simple.

This. I add fresh lemon juice and a tablespoon of brandy.

We usually do the Archer suggestion:

2 parts tequila
1 part Cointreau
1 part lime juice

Gotta be careful with those though, because they will sneak up on you

Cointreau is too orange tasting for my wife and her sisters.

Do any of you remember when you were a kid and picked honeysuckle flowers? There was that one small drop after you pulled out the stamen? What a unique flavor.


Shake it with ice until it is frosted on the outside. Put into a cooler filled with ice with fresh limes to make the sea salt stick. Transport to the beach. Teach the grandchildren how to fry a corn tortilla in lard.
