Margarita #3

2 oz tequila, 1 oz Cointreau, 1 oz lime juice, 1 oz simple syrup (1 part sugar, 1 part water).



The Patron Silver is too good to make into a margarita. I think it would be better straight up. This one was not quite as good as margarita number two.

Margarita Number Two

2 oz tequila, 1 oz Cointreau, 1 oz lime juice, 1 oz simple syrup (2 parts sugar, 1 part water).



The Cabo is much better. Yummy!

It doesn't have the "sea breeze" taste of the best margaritas I've had, but it would sure hit the spot on a hot hot hot sunny afternoon.

Margaritaville? Not quite yet.

I am going to perfect the Perfect Margarita. (3 parts tequila, 2 parts Cointreau, 1 part lime juice* or thereabouts, I'll let you know when I find the perfect Perfect ratio!)



It looks pretty.

The Jose Cuervo Especial Gold is just not up to the task. Apparently you can't buy perfection for $17. The aftertaste is just - bad. EW!

*This one was 1.5 oz tequila, 1 oz lime juice, .5 oz Cointreau for the record.
