Margaritas

BajaSerg - 7-8-2009 at 08:20 PM

We are going on a 3 day Cruise to Ensenada this weekend and would like to know of a place to go for killer Margaritas. Went we are in Rosario we go to Las Cantiles near Puerto Nevo.

Serg, your spelling sucks or you've already had too many margs... So you mean in Rosarito (not Rosario) you are near Puerto Nuevo ( not "Puerto Nevo"? Does Nemo hang in Puerto Nevo?

Can't help you out even though we live near Ensenada as we don't go out for margaritas. We make them at home...and call them martinis.

Baja Serg, it's a tough crowd. Being a bad speller or a bad typist, either way, have a good time.

Whever you go, tell them you don't want the "Tourist" margaritas made with Sprite

Serg has got his drink on - Dude - ask for a Damiana margarita and make it a double!

The Absolute! best margarita in the whole world....including Mexico...is at Punta Pescadero in the East Cape.

It is: 1/3 fresh lime juice; 1/3 Quantreaux liquor; 1/3 Cuervo Commemorativo tequila. Shake over ice or pour into ice with salt on the rim.

It is best to go catch a release three Blue Marlin and then be back in the cantina by 1100 and have three of these....makes for a beautiful afternoon!
:tumble:

"except for words that sound like A, such as in neighbor and weigh"...and all of the other exceptions!

On another note, if you take the tour bus to La Bufadora, you can get a great Cadillac margarita at La Bufadora Tequila Grill -- but only if Alex is there to make it. No one can make them like he does.

That's a little week (continuing the spelling game) for my taste.

I make them 42-21

4 parts tequila (blanco)
2 parts Controy
2 parts fresh squeezed Baja lime juice
1 part simple sugar (Jarabe Natural)

shake with ice and strain (without ice) into long stemmed glass with minimal coarse salt on rim (too much salt is like drinking a salt lick). I only drink one at a setting, but of course it is served in a mason jar!

Tequila and Damiana may be delicious (I don't know, 'cause I don't drink it) but it is not a true margarita, in my opinion.

This is the one, except I find that substituting a packet of Splenda for the simple sugar mix works great.

funnyst thred evr. shpelng matters?

I'm with bucko on the recipe.

Happy Margs all!

I believe the question was where in Ensenada would you recommend the Margaritas. It's been awhile since I had one in town, but my hazy recollection is that the Hotel Bahia bar Cadillac Margarita wasn't half bad.

bajasammy - 7-9-2009 at 11:21 AM

I'm with you on the Bahia DanO! It used to be quite the happenin' spot years ago. Now I think you need to bring your own crowd.

What's a Cadillac Margarita?

Curt63 - 7-9-2009 at 10:15 PM

Sorry Bucko I made that Punta Pescadero margarita and it was ok..... I cant give it a best ever

However, If I was back in by 11 with 3 marlin boated, my perception might be a little different

God I love Baja days

Thanks, Dennis. Seems like a strange name for a recipe with no particular distinction, or maybe I'm missing something.

fishbuck - 7-9-2009 at 10:37 PM

I think the distinction is premium tequila instead of well tequila.

Grand Marnier is a huge difference added to the traditional ingredients.

It sure does ......

My favorite is a teaspoon of Cointreau and gently floating it on the top of the drink after it is poured .....

Martyman - 7-10-2009 at 08:13 AM

Hussongs pours a nice margarita but you might want to step up from the well to the Herradura.

bajalera - 7-10-2009 at 05:12 PM

I'll settle for all that. What really turns me off are Margarita Slushies (or is that Raspadas?) blended with all that ice. When ordering a Margie north of the border, I've learned to avoid those by asking for it in a Martini glass with two ice cubes.
