Our local Mexican place has $10 pitchers of margaritas every Friday and Saturday night. My husband is a fan of the place.

Margarita Recipe

The basic margarita recipe consists of three ingredients - Tequila, Cointreau (triple sec) and fresh lime juice. The true art of making margaritas lies in the ideal ratios and the pizzaz with which it is served. The ratio for margarita mix can vary from equal parts of each ingredient to 3:2:1 tequila: cointreau: lime juice. The triple sec is an orange liquer that adds a sweet-and sour flavor to the cocktail. Different flavors can be substituted for the triple sec to make interesting variations. Shake the margarita with ice and serve in salt rimmed glasses. You can add Grand Marnier instead of Triple sec for concocting an exotic margarita.

go easy on the tequilla

Or, I just buy it by the gallon jug at the liquor store -- everything is all mixed up for you -- just add ice (or it's also nice to keep in the 'fridge for emergencies) :oops: :oops: :D

I have sung an ode to Tequila on a few occasions without loss of clothing, memory, or too many inhibitions. I can also partake of fermented grape juice (red) without any ill effects. However, give me white wine and people will be talking of stuff I have no recollection. It would explain a few things .....and I won't tell you what those things are. lol
