........for margs on the rocks.
I am looking for something I can mix up and have handy and just add the tequila as necessary.
We'll be down at Port A next weekend.

I prefer original (lime). Not strawberry or mango or whatever.

Post whatever you use, no matter how simple or how compex.

Thanks

Good stuff

huntinfool · 05-16-2009, 06:29 AM

We actually like the italian margaritas better than the regular ones.

Snakelover · 05-16-2009, 06:32 AM

6 oz can Minute Maid Frozen Limeade
(then use limeade can for measuring)
6 oz can Sprite
18 oz (3 cans) water
6 oz can tequila
3 oz (half can) Cointreau

Legdog · 05-16-2009, 08:31 AM

1 1/2 oz Patron Silver (2 oz if you like the stuff by itself like some do)
1 oz Patron Citronage
juice 1/2 fresh lime
juice 1/2 fresh lemon

shake over ice and serve with salt rimmed marg glass (presentation is important)

small hit of Rose's sweetened lime juice if you don't want to mess with fresh fruit... careful.. stuff is concentrated

firecapt186 · 05-16-2009, 08:48 AM

6oz can of limeaide
then using the can add a half can of tequila and half can of triple sec

Add above ingredients in blender, then add ice to top of blender and blend. pour into margarita glass and top with amaretta

tkuehn5410 · 05-16-2009, 08:58 AM

Best margarita ever - we had these in Mexico and these are the only ones we make now.

2 juiced limes
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 shot tequila
1 shot contreau
glass of ice cubes

Burntorange Bowhunter · 05-16-2009, 10:29 AM

The original recipe from mexico for real ones:

One part mexican(key) lime juice
One part Cointreau
Three parts tequila

as the story goes....when it was introduced in the US...some accounts say LA and others say El Paso....it was reduced to one part tequila. I love the original ones....careful...mighty potent.

Hawkins · 05-16-2009, 10:39 AM

dont know the exact measurements...you can mix to taste

tequila
margarita mix
and a splash of Fresca

my dad drinks these a lot, it is really good

Richard M. · 05-16-2009, 10:58 AM

1 can frozen limeade
12 oz 7up
1 corona
10 oz or 3/4 of limeade can of tequilla
Sounds strange but awesome.

Brute Killer · 05-16-2009, 11:23 AM

Lots of variety here. Thanks for posting!

Keep 'em coming.

Brute Killer · 05-16-2009, 11:28 AM

Cointreau

Quote:

Cointreau has also become very popular in premium Margaritas, often known as "Gold Margaritas". Cointreau replaces the Triple sec in the standard Margarita recipe and adds a more intense orange flavour

Interesting. Thanks

1/4 cup of powdered sugar? Doesn't sound like enough liquid to even make a good paste!

It does sound sweet, though.

Legdog · 05-16-2009, 12:53 PM

had a lot of success in the past using "Freshies" but I have not seen it on the shelf lately at my local grub store

Combine 1.5 oz. Anejo Tequilla, .5 oz. Grand Marnier(R), and 4 oz. Freshies Fresh Lime Margarita Mix in a pint glass over ice. Shake for 15 seconds (or blend in blender). Pour into a salted margarita glass and garnish with a wedge of fresh lime. Enjoy!

If you are in touch with your feminine side (BOB, please don't try this) the mango mix they make is pretty good too (a bit sweet for my tastes)

Heath · 05-16-2009, 12:57 PM

I know you guys make your own blend, but if you want hassle free rita the Jose Cuervo premix margarita is not bad.

Leggy,

You drank that at my house one night.

Burntorange Bowhunter · 05-16-2009, 01:26 PM

Hey man, I am perfectly in touch with my fem side.

I've drank many a bottle of that stuff. You're right, it's easy and still beats the margaritas they serve up at most Mexican restaurants. Speaking of restaurant margaritas, I would love to have the on the rocks margarita recipe they use at L. Trevino's in Rockwall. I have yet to have a better margarita. I've asked for the recipe many times, but they will not talk.

Xspot · 05-16-2009, 01:40 PM

The margaritas are made. Tammy and I are enjoying them. Anyone want to come and have one one this rainy day.

That is a good 'un...

Legdog · 05-16-2009, 02:59 PM

Was about to crack open a tsingtao (favorite Kill Bill brew)

but now you have done it, I have a full blown urge to go score some Patron.

Loves me some corralejo, porfidio, cazadores and chinaco but I always circle back to Patron... just seems to be the one that consistently gets me where I want to be both for taste and vibe.

Mmmmm corralejo.... so hard to narrow it down

TD2000 · 05-16-2009, 03:38 PM

Frozen recipe - made in blender (if you can take one on trip) Fast and easy

6 oz can Frozen Limeade
(can for measuring)
1 full can gold tequila
1/3 can Cointreau
1/3 can Grand Marnier
Fill blender with ice and run till smooth, not icy

Also for all those that go to Mexico, load up on bottles of CONTROY on your return as it is as good as Cointreau, but runs $6 to $7 per bottle.

RdRdrFan · 05-16-2009, 06:55 PM

The wife and I are drinking Jose Cuervo Golden tonight. I just put some ice in a shaker tin with some Golden and shake hard for 30 seconds and pour. Good stuff.

Duck Sausage · 05-16-2009, 07:06 PM

3 oz of Jose Cuervo margarita mix
2 oz of Agavero Tequila (my personal favorite and straight out of the freezer)
1 oz Navan...House of Grand Marnier
and a splash of lime.

On the rocks with salt.

lxlaw · 05-16-2009, 08:14 PM

Just drink the Tequila straight, no need for no stinking mix!!

Reading this thread and started craving a rita.....used the last bit of mix and tequila in the house, but put together something to curb the cravings....

Good thread.....

Good thread.....

Same here.....went the Cuervo route Heath suggested due to time but plan on trying some of the more involved ones above.

Derrik · 05-17-2009, 06:40 PM

Partial to Don Julio.... Found out that Patron is owned by Paul Mitchell (the hair care company). Fixing to make one.. I will definately try the Freshies mix next time...

sailor · 05-17-2009, 07:51 PM

Just hand me the "Te kill ya"

m'gobo · 05-17-2009, 09:02 PM

I use to be big on 1800 untill a friend turned me on to Casadorres(sp). It has a pic of a deer head on the bottle. Also, I put in a splas of Blue Curraco in mine.

Burntorange Bowhunter · 05-18-2009, 08:57 AM

Cazadores RULES!!! Best for the price hands down....but don't waste it in a mixed drink.

Loneaggie · 05-18-2009, 09:46 AM

Y'all are killing me with the margarita thread and this thread. When I went and spent my liquor budget Saturday I had to pick between stocking back up on Patron or adding some Rum to the cabinet. I still had a little Patron Silver left so I pick up some Capt. Morgans.... now I have the urge to go get some more Patron.... bad influences

Three parts tequila

Just had one of these. Very tart and STRONG.

I think the problem was that I squeezed the rind of the lime along with the meat.
I only made a small batch so no big deal.

I cut the mix with a little ginger ale (no lemon lime soda in the hizzy) and adeed a dash of Rose's.

Made it drinkable but not superlative. I'll change my lime squeezing technique.

I used the Sauza reposado. (green label)

Legdog · 05-18-2009, 02:46 PM

Was reading up on this subject on the Tequila.net forum and some dude who moderates that board who posts with the handle "MrAgave" suggests the following....

Quote:

Shot o Tequila - Juice from half a lime - 2 teaspoons Agave Nectar - Ice

Now I'm on a mission to find this Agave Nectar...
