You can make my drinks anytime Jefe, I like your carefree quick pouring style... my only question is: Can I bring my own glass (big gulp) ?

Jefe has got it going on!

I like it simple, but the fu-fu drinkers would be gagging. Unfortunately so many are brainwashed when they're 21 that everything should taste like Kool-aid.

While this may not be the best recipe for the hardcore, this appears to be the perfect Margarita for the wife.

1.5-2 oz of either a decent quality Reposado or Añejo Tequila (Ranging from Jesus Reyes Reposado – Oaky taste for $13.99 @ Hi Time to Casa Noble Añejo – superior smoothness for $69.99 @ Hi Time)
0.5 oz of Cointreau
1.5 oz of Grand Marnier
4.5-5.5 oz of Rose’s Sweet and Sour
1 lime, used to coat the outside of the rim for salt

Slice lime and coat outside rim of Margarita Glass with salt.
Insert nine ice cubes into a Stainless Steel Shaker:
Add the tequila, the Cointreau, the Grand Marnier, and the Rose's Sweet and Sour.
Shake-it, baby, shake-it!
Pour contents into Margarita Glass and garnish with lime

As for the hardcore….

I use 2 oz of a decent to superior Blanco or Reposado, one freshly squeezed lime, Trader Joe’s Organic Agave Nectar/water mix, which equate to 2 oz including lime juice, ice cubes, and the stainless steel shaker. Rarely do I add a splash of the Grand Marnier and Rose's Sweet and Sour. No salt for me.

I honestly prefer my own developed cocktail of approximately 6 oz Monster Low Carb energy drink, half of a squeezed lime, and 2 oz+ of Blanco or Reposado, a.k.a. THE HANKENSTEIN TM
