But, on a day like today, you just can't be a nice ice-cold margarita! Here's a couple of proven recipes that I swear by!
From the alt.fan.jimmy-buffett FAQ, but slightly modified by Parker:
2.6 How do I make the perfect margarita?
_The Road to the Perfect Margarita_
Our journey starts...
1. Fill shaker with broken cubed ice.
2. Squeeze TWO fresh lime wedges into shaker.
3. Savor the fresh lime aroma (AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!)
4. Add 2.5 oz. Hornitos %100 Pure Agave Tequila.
5. Sniff the cork.
6. Add 1-1/4 oz. of Roses Lime Juice (accept no substitutes!).
7. Add 1/2 oz. of Bols Triple Sec (nothing but the best!).
8. Add "a splash" of Bols Orange Curaco (shh... secret ingredient).
9. Cover shaker tightly!
10. Shake vigorously.
11. Flip shaker in midair twice (three times if you're a pro).
12. Uncover shaker and savor the flavor!
13. Rim glass with Lime peel (outside only!).
14. Salt the outside only.
15. Add fresh ice.
16. Strain mixture over ice.
17. Squeeze in 1 lime wedge and toss rind over left shoulder.
18. Now kick back, turn up the Buffett and enjoy!
Here's a blended recipe back from my college days:
Pepe's recipie is:
1 12 oz. can Minute Maid Limeaid.
9 oz. Tequila
3 oz. Triple Sec
In a blender, pour in the can of Limeaid. Take the can that you just
emptied in to the blender and add in 9 oz of the Tequila and 3 oz of the
Triple Sec. For the bartending impaired, that's fill the can 3/4 full of
Tequila and 1/4 of Triple Sec. Pour the full can of booze in to the
blender. Blend until all ingrediants are combined. Turn off blender.
Pour half of the contents of the blender back in to the 12 oz. can. Save
for round two.
Fire up the blender. Slowly drop in small cubes of ice. Keep blending
and keep adding small quantities of ice until the blender is almost full.
At that point, the whirlpool that is created by the blending action of the
blender will begin to collapse. Stop blending and adding ice when this
whirlpool just collapses and does not reappear.
Serve in fancy schmancy glass with a straw.
Repeat blending/icing process with left over can of booze mix for round
two.
