Strain into a salt rimmed Margarita glass

Mr. & Mrs. 'T' makes a very good margarita mix. I use it when fresh limes aren't available and it makes a very good margarita.

Fwiw, I don't like the other Mr. & Mrs. 'T' mixes that much, but the margarita mix is killer IMO.

Patron citronge from Sams is REALLY good,I agree and yes, 3,2,1 is my ratio as well..........

I like the Jose Cuervo Gold ready to drink

The best margarita isn't really a margarita by definition. We used to go to Tommy's Mexican restaurant in San Francisco, LINK, which boast the largest selection of Agave tequila outside of mexico and drink theirs. It's almost like a tequila martini, but here's the recipe.

Per drink,

2 shots of tequila
1 shot of fresh lime juice
1/2 to 3/4 a shot of Agave nectar depending on how sweet you like it.


Perfect. We never thought we could find th nectar, but the walmarks has it. More of a tequila sour, but it really is easy to drink and easy to make. They cut the ends off of the limes before cutting them in half to juice, so I do the same. This is for Reposado or silver, for Anjeo they just give you a brandi glass and want you to sip it.

After drinking them like that, the mix just tastes like garbage. Most of the time I actually make them like martinis and shake them in a shaker. Just to get that nectar to mix well. Never thought of muddling it, good idea. I serve them in a salted martini glass with no ice. Usually they don't last long enough to get warm. We generally only drink tequila in the most festive of times, so it's kind of an event. Nothing transforms a get together like everyone having 4 shots of tequila.

Article about Tommy's style margs.

Had a great version in costa rica that is your basic lime juice, tequila, cointreau, but also with finely processed/chopped mint leaves and some sugar. Makes it similar to a Margarita Mojito. Instead of salting the glass, sugar rim it
