I am embarking on a quest to create the perfect margarita. I bought a book full of recipes that claimed to be experts on the subject. I followed their directions and created a throat-burning, acidic horror. I could have done better with lime KoolAid and some cheap rot-gut! All I managed to learn from that book was how to read a tequila bottle label, which is helpful, but not what I was expecting for the price.

So, any Margarita experts have any tips for me? I need to redeem myself in my husband's eyes as master bartender after last weekend's fiasco.

The Margarita is one of my favorite drinks...if not my very favorite drink. When I make them at home, I tend to go for the frozen strawberry variety.

Here's the basic recipe I like:

1 cup of ice
2 oz Jose Cuervo Gold Tequila (bottle says: Premium-Jose Cuervo Especial Oro)
1 oz DeKuyper Triple Sec
3 1/2 oz Daily's Strawberry Daiquiri/Margarita Mix

(Put all ingredients in a blender and blend until all ice is crushed. Serve in a tumbler with a straw or other glass of your choice. Recipe above makes one serving. Duplicate ingredients for number of servings desired. My blender holds enough for about two to three servings at a time to allow for the ice to move around in the blender properly.)

Here's the modified recipe for other times:

1 cup of ice
2 oz Jose Cuervo Gold Tequila (bottle says: Premium-Jose Cuervo Especial Oro)
2 oz DeKuyper Triple Sec
3 1/2 oz Daily's Strawberry Daiquiri/Margarita Mix
1 tbsp Rose's Grenadine
1 tbsp Rose's Lime Juice

(Follow directions above for basic recipe for mixing directions and servings. Glass rim can be coated with either salt or sugar and glass can be garnished with a lime and/or strawberry slice.)

Good luck and happy drinking.

Yeah, I've got the Margarita mix kind down. Damn they're yummy! But my ego says "you must make your own from SCRATCH to be a TRUE Margarita goddess."

Incedentally, I usually use Jose Cuervo Especial, also. A good quality, low price tequila, although it is a mixto (not 100% agave). For special occasions, I break out the Jose Cuervo Tradicional, which is a 100% agave tequila, lightly aged ("reposado"). Very good stuff, and still fairly reasonably priced.

Can you tell I read my Margarita book very thoroughly?

They also recommend Cointreau in place of Triple Sec for a higher quality drink, but think that Grand Marnier can be a little overpowering for a Margarita, unless you really want the flavor of orange liqueur to come through strongly.

I used to just do a quick 1 part tequila to 3 parts mix, with no liqueur at all. The book called for an alarming nearly 2 parts alcohol to 1 part straight lime juice, which was just AWFUL!!! Although it gave an amazing buzz very quickly, it also gave my husband a stomach ache, and was not at all what I look for in a Margarita. I like my Margarita to go down smooth and refreshing, with just enough kick to make you want to say "yum" and "wow" at the same time. You shouldn't have to brace yourself to take a sip.

Anyone have any info. on how to do a Margarita without using pre-made mix? I'd kind of like to make a bit of a ritual of it, right down to squeezing my own fresh lime juice. What should the ratio be for tequila to liqueur to juice? Do I use straight juice, or make a sort of limeade? Would sugar be a desecration, or is it a necessary ingredient?

I intend to do a certain amount of my own experimentation, but since even the cheap tequila can get pricey in large quantities, I would really like some basis to start from.

Damn - talking about Margaritas is making me thirsty!

I'm sorry baby, I like margaritas as much as anybody, but NOTHING, and I mean NOTHING beats a rum float. Parrot Bay coconut rum, cream soda, vegan ice cream. Best of luck in your quest to become margarita goddess. The Rum goddess saves you a seat! (right next to me of course, so we can gossip and trade drinks).

Ever had butter pecan ice cream with a wee piss o rum (silor jerry!) on top and then covered in butterscotch schnapps? WHy yes, I think I WILL die in my sleep of pure bliss....

Dear. God. Bettie. I'ma have to use my typing money and get some rum float supplies.

As for margaritas, all I know is that my dad makes them, and either put it directly into my hand, or leave it somewhere where I will find it. It's like have a little Tequila Fairy fluttering around spreading good wishes. But I will definitely ask around., see if anyone has any tips or suggestions. Kudos to you for your efforts in Becoming a TRUE Margarita Goddess. (I shall refrain from any porcelain throne/alter jokes at this time.)

Mmmmm... Bettie, I'll have to try your suggestion! Rum is actually a form of booze I haven't sampled yet (although I love rum balls!) But it's definitely on my list of things to try - such a nice, piratical sounding drink!

I've been practicing making lemonade (for the neigborhood kids who come over to play with Riley), and I've been paying attention to the way a glass of that stuff goes down. I'm not caring for the high sugar content - tends to turn the stomach at the end of the glass. Need to either cut down the amount, or find another form of sweetening, I think.

And Merry, speaking of the porcelain throne - they say that 100% agave tequila won't give you a hangover, but they lie. Although it was mild for the amount I drank the evening of the Margaritas from hell. Although I THOUGHT of making an offering to the sewer gods, I was able to refrain. *Note to self - when a recipe instructs you to use twice the alcohol in a drink you're used to, RUN!!!
