Don Julio white.<br />2 Oz. Cointreau.<br />1 Oz. fresh mexican lime juice (Key limes).<br />pour into a pint beer glass full of ice- done, no salt for me, thanks!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-84259213425377054472009-10-19T15:46:04.459-04:002009-10-19T15:46:04.459-04:00I'm a little late to the party here, but we we...I'm a little late to the party here, but we were lamenting that the pre-bottled margarita we were buying was awful and overpriced and wondering what the secret to the real-deal margaritas we had in Mexico was. Well, leave it to our favorite chef! These are perfectly delicious. There's no going back now.<br /><br />One note: We were almost out of triple sec but had most of a bottle of Blue Curacao so I gave it a try instead. Wonderful. Besides the beautiful sapphire color it makes a slightly less sweet cocktail and adds just a kiss of bitterness and balance.tonkaslimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09842167599866145856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-3380701482801926842009-05-14T20:14:00.000-04:002009-05-14T20:14:00.000-04:00I've been drinking Margarita's all week (work, wor...I've been drinking Margarita's all week (work, work, work), trying to find the perfect formula for an upcoming party. I started with yours, then tried others. What tastes best to me is 3 parts blanco tequilla, 2 parts fresh lime juice, 2 parts simple syrup (great idea, btw), 1/2 part Cointreau. I like the balance between the lime juice and sugar, with the orange liquor more of a subtle background taste. This is almost identical to a Rick Bayless concoction in his cookbook RB's Mexican Kitchen. You'll have to drink two margaritas to find out how they compare (darn!), but that's the cost of relying on the scientific method.Judnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-56754646243529313912009-05-12T15:26:00.000-04:002009-05-12T15:26:00.000-04:00it's called "Buddy" it's a free sound clip that co...it's called "Buddy" it's a free sound clip that comes with iMovie.Chef Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15030125427840815038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-49328744654063491632009-05-12T00:12:00.000-04:002009-05-12T00:12:00.000-04:00Chef, what's the name of the song you have on your...Chef, what's the name of the song you have on your youtube video for the margarita video?

It's kind of American central for this little town in the mountains. The owner, Raffa, is very cool, and loves us, and our money :-) Anyway, during the last night of the festival, the power had been out almost all day. Even the beer drinkers, with lack of cold beverages, were switching to margaritas. At one point, near the end of the night, Raffa started teaching his 7 year old son Rodrigo how to make Margaritas. Everyone wanted a Rodrigo Margarita! He had a heck of a time squeezing the limes, but he got it done. Raffa was so proud his son was slinging drinks, it was very cool in a south-of-the-border kind of way!<br /><br />I look forward to trying your recipe on my family next month :-) It's offshore tourney season, and I always get to cook at the fish fries.Pyrofishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11733466611336937794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-54524476493122327912009-05-02T04:49:00.000-04:002009-05-02T04:49:00.000-04:00What is the salt around the rim for?
