I found that I like using Malibu Rum in my Margaritas. I don't like the store bought mixes. 2 shots of Citron silver or Cabo Wabo, 1 shot of Malibu, and I use 1 shot of Key West Lemon Juice.
Bloody Mary from scratch too hard?
How about perhaps the best scratch-built Margarita ever?
One part Cointreau, two parts fresh lime juice. four parts tequilla. Niiiice. Use one of your 'sipping' tequilas.' I like Gusano Rojo Mezcal (the cheap one with the worm), Sauza Hornitos Reposado (loosely translates as 'go to sleep horny'), or anything expensive. On the rocks, or in a blender. Blender drink secret? Use a shit-pot of ice. If it's too sweet, make the next round with half as much Cointreau. A couple drops of Peychaud's doesn't hurt, either.
This one is for Mr. dave_rhino. Brought her own vomit tub and everything!
