Water is a key ingredient in a margarita.

First time I’ve had it. Was looking for hornitos, glad I didn’t find it.

2 part tequila, 1 part lime juice, 3/4 part triple sec, drop of agave nectar/simple syrup, shake and pour over ice

Shaker adds water. I just mix over ice.

I clearly don’t get fussy about tequila, that was the cheapest reposado they had.

Your house already looks like a Mexican restaurant, so this should be very close to an authentic experience.

Why are you using a mix? And then you're adding sugar in with it? No wonder you think it's too sweet (I see now that the added sugar is just for your wife, but still, ).

I wasn’t dogging your tequila choice.

That one is perfectly acceptable for a decent margarita.

rose pepper (the trendiest of the trendy messican places in nashville) uses sprite which i can't stand by itself much less dumped from the C02 tap straight into a marg.

who would do that? and people rave about the margs here. my wife's sister is the manager and she knows better than to fill mine up with sprite.

I always go:
2oz. lime juice
2oz. tequila
1 tsp agave
splash of lime sparkling water. Probably less than 1oz.
