You know MIke when you go to a True Baja Sur mexicanos Home, you are served a Shot of Tequilla in a very tall thin heavy Glass.
I wonder if all this Maggie Drinkers have ever sipped on a Good Tequilla from a Mexican Tequilla Glass??
Me thinks they are talking about Americano Margaritas- Oh well it takes all kinds!

Actually that's not a margarita. It's called a paloma.

One of our favorite margaritas, which seems to be in high demand in our group is...
1 part tequila
1/2 part grand marnier (or contreau .. controy)
1/2 part triple sec
2 parts either freshly squeezed lime juice... or margarita mix if an emergency)
We usually end up providing all the margaritas when we're down and they are really in demand...
We usually make them using a measuring cup and a huge margarita container... 2 cups tequilla.... etc.... and they don't last long... served over lots
of ice of course...

I'm with Skeet when it comes to the ice cubes: Two. That makes for a Traditional Margarita, but these are really hard to find anymore. Order a Maggie
in a bar and what they bring you is a Margarita Raspadita.
Those things give you more ice-water than anything else, they don't have much of the essential flavor, and they tend to increase a drinker's trips to
the establishment's urination station.
To avoid sll that and get the real thing, I ask for a Margarita in a Martini glass, with only two ice cubes. And that's embarrassing because it makes
me look like some kind of a prissy high-maintenance kook.
Whoever got the dumb idea of blending a perfectly good drink with a lot of ice and turning it into a Maggie Slushie?

Please, please don't call it a maggie. That as bad as "the baja"
Three shots tequila, 1/2 shot controy... I don't like much orange liquor, just a small splooch with many limes and half an orange, ice. Need to try
the damiana sometime

| Quote: | | but I recently got a recipe from a friend that I found quite different and yet still tasty. In a blender with ice, I can of Limeade, 1 can of
beer (I use Tecate), fill the Limeade can with Tequila (I use Hornito's or Corralejo blue), blend, pour into a glass, and add a shot of Grand Marnier
to give it that Cadillac flavor. The Limeade is quite tart but the beer seems to cut the sweetness down to a smooth, tasty, margarita. What are some
of your favorite recipes...and be specific regarding the tequila and the orange liquer. Salud! |
Yuk! I have a neighbor lady that taught my wife this receipe and I just cant tollerate it. It may be becuase I can't stand to be around the lady
that taught my wife??
My wife loves the Magies from Playa De Oro bar in San Felipe. It is lime, tequila, simple syrup, a splash or sprite or squirt and triple sec.

I'm not a fan of using Damiana in lieu of an orange liquor. However, just a drizzle of Damiana along side the usual ingredients is a pretty damn good
spin on the flavor.
My wife and I often make a sweet, concentrated jamaica syrup that we keep in the fridge for c-cktails. Add a bit of this to your standard marg and it
not only gives it some sweetness, but adds great color and a bit of jamaica flavor.

don't waste any tequila, it's the getting there that's it's all about, not how you get there, buy the cheapest brand and drink the whole bottle in one
shot, then do the second and third quickly right after that, geez! once you have these you'll never go back, enjoy the sights, the sounds, the
visions and oh yes, a few months of this diet and you are sure to lose all the weight you want, enjoy, wish i could join you!

I have discovered that if I order a margarita "tradicional" in Tijuana it's served blended - not on the rocks. Don't understand it but mi novia says
that's the case . . .

I have been trying some of the recipes and it has been quite wonderful. Thank you all so very much for sharing your recipes. I will continue to
experiment and enjoy. One more question....SALT. I'm not a big fan of salt on my glass. What is the purpose? Is it a gringo thing? Your
thoughts!!!!

There used to be something that was said to be a Mexican ritual [although I never saw anybody do it] where you put salt on your hand between thumb
and forfinger, and do something with a lime and took a swig of tequila--and I'm sure somebody remembers it better than I do . . .

i think the salt lick is to shock your taste buds so you won't gag on the house tequila that most margies are made with.
