Spreading the Word
This is from an automotive related forum I'm on. Usually it's all about swapping turbos and systems etc. They have an off topic forum where someone mentioned a few months back they needed Margarita Recipes. I jsut found it again today. Yea, I know this is kinda long, but shows why I'm the tequila master I am. Free Waborita to whoever can guess who I am on this. Surprisingly there are a few people that do have a good concept of what real tequila is. Excuse the shitty look, things transfer like shit in to these blogs.

Re: Looking for a few good margarita recipes
Margaritas are my life!
You will need to use GOOD tequila for starters.
Jose Cuervo is a big no no. So is using Sweet and
Sour mixes.
Real 100% Agave tequila is more money, but it's a
different drink altogether.
Cazadores is a reasonabley priced 100% Reposado.
Shoudl be able to get it at Costco or BevMo for
about $25.
Cabo Wabo Reposado is my first choice for
Margaritas but plan on spending $35-40 per bottle.
A "real" Margarita is:
2 Shots of 100% agave tequila
1 Shot of Cointreu
1/2 shot of FRESH lime (squeeze it yourself,
really makes a big difference)
ON the rocks, no blender, but you can shake it or
stir it.
Other good margs:
Caboblogo
3 Shots of an Anejo Tequila
1/3 shot of Damiana liqueur
1/3 shot of fresh sqeezed lime
Shake well in ice filled martini shaker. Pour into
a salt-rimmed martini glass.
Waborita
2 Shots of CaboWabo
1/2 shot of Citronge orange liqueur
1 shot of fresh sqeezed lime
Shake well in ice filled martini shaker. Pour into
a salt-rimmed martini glass.
Put a couple of drops of Blue Curacao.
Paloma
2 Shots of 100% Agave Tequila on the rocks tall
glass
Fill the rest of glass with Squirt soda
Top with fresh lime
Amaretto Margarita
2 Shots of 100% Agave TEquila
1 shot of Amaretto
Fresh lime again
Cantarita
1 1/2 Shots of 100% agave tequila
Grapefruit, Orange, Lemon and Lime (the fresher
the better) Juices
Grapefruit soda
Ice

Thanks man, I'm in for the drinks and salsa! I
have a fully stocked tequila bar. These East Coast
types are butchering these things . Margs are for
highlighting the tequila, not destroying it.
In fact, I'm drinking my latest right now. Tequila
Epsolon Blanco, Cointreu and Key Lime (like the
pie). Didn't think it would work since I push
fresh limes so much, but it rocks.
Since you like the Anejos try Don Julio Anejo or
Cabo Wabo Anejo. It's a little cheaper then Patron
Anejo, but I prefer these personally. Problem is
you end up using too much in Margaritas since it's
incredibly smooth, not a problem really, just gets
pricey if you drink a lot!

Why do you guys waste a good tequila? Reposado and
Anejo's are great for sipping / drinking neat.
Then the whites for shots and GOLD for mixing with
margarita kind of drinks.

I completely agree with Postman, above.
100% Agave Tequila + Fresh Lime Juice + Clear Ice.
Done.
Try Herradura Reposado... pricey, but smooth.
Switch to cuervo silver after 4 or 5 drinks... you
can't taste anything by then, anyway.

No....you had a bad experience due to bad tequila.
I myself cannot drink Cuervo. I gag on the crap.
Yet, I can still slam a bottle of a good reposado
no problem!

I agree to a point. I usually take my tequila
neat. American style "margaritas" have so much
other crap in them that the tequila isn't as
important since there is very little of it. A
"real" Margarita is much better IMO with a good
reposado. Anejo Margaritas are fantastic as long
as you use enough. Give it a try at least!
Mixtos are never ok to use. You disgrace your
house jsut having a bottle of gold mixto there!

DUDE.....you are a friend of the agave! This is
almost the contents of a Cuervo bottle. They use
51% immature agave, the rest is bad grain alcohol,
carmel coloring and LOTS of sugars. It really
isn't even tequila. The $hit is bottled in the
U.S.! Real tequilas are 100% Blue Weber Agave and
have to be bottled, distilled and aged (except
blancos) in Jalisco.
It's like comparing a very good wine to a Seagrams
wine cooler.

I almost gave you a thumbs up except for the Cuervo Silver

There is a tequila tradition where I work too, at
every large conference or gathering we buy at
least one bottle of Jose Cuervo Reserva de la
Familia for sipping. That is some good stuff, too
bad it's as expensive as Dom Perignon.

you end up using too much in Margaritas since it's
incredibly smooth, not a problem really, just gets
pricey if you drink a lot!

Postman, I to your margarita knowledge! I grew
up in AZ and your post makes me homesick.You
make the margs, and I'll bring chips and salsa.
I'm also fond of margaritas made with a darker
anejo tequila, like Patron Anejo, with a dash of
bitters.
Thanks man, I'm in for the drinks and salsa! I
have a fully stocked tequila bar. These East
Coast types are butchering these things . Margs
are for highlighting the tequila, not destroying
it.
In fact, I'm drinking my latest right now.
Tequila Epsolon Blanco, Cointreu and Key Lime
(like the pie). Didn't think it would work since
I push fresh limes so much, but it rocks.
Since you like the Anejos try Don Julio Anejo or
Cabo Wabo Anejo. It's a little cheaper then
Patron Anejo, but I prefer these personally.
Problem is you end up using too much in
Margaritas since it's incredibly smooth, not a
problem really, just gets pricey if you drink a
lot!
Why do you guys waste a good tequila? Reposado and
Anejo's are great for sipping / drinking neat.
Then the whites for shots and GOLD for mixing with
margarita kind of drinks.

I like using good tequila becuase I hate drinking
piss. It doesn't matter if it's neat or in a
margarita, good is still good and bad tequila
still tastes like crap.

I completely agree with Postman, above.
100% Agave Tequila + Fresh Lime Juice + Clear Ice.
Done.
Try Herradura Reposado... pricey, but smooth.
Switch to cuervo silver after 4 or 5 drinks... you
can't taste anything by then, anyway.

No....you had a bad experience due to bad tequila.
I myself cannot drink Cuervo. I gag on the crap.
Yet, I can still slam a bottle of a good reposado
no problem!

I agree to a point. I usually take my tequila
neat. American style "margaritas" have so much
other crap in them that the tequila isn't as
important since there is very little of it. A
"real" Margarita is much better IMO with a good
reposado. Anejo Margaritas are fantastic as long
as you use enough. Give it a try at least!
Mixtos are never ok to use. You disgrace your
house jsut having a bottle of gold mixto there!

DUDE.....you are a friend of the agave! This is
almost the contents of a Cuervo bottle. They use
51% immature agave, the rest is bad grain alcohol,
carmel coloring and LOTS of sugars. It really
isn't even tequila. The $hit is bottled in the
U.S.! Real tequilas are 100% Blue Weber Agave and
have to be bottled, distilled and aged (except
blancos) in Jalisco.
It's like comparing a very good wine to a Seagrams
wine cooler.

I almost gave you a thumbs up except for the Cuervo Silver
comment!

There is a tequila tradition where I work too, at
every large conference or gathering we buy at
least one bottle of Jose Cuervo Reserva de la
Familia for sipping. That is some good stuff, too
bad it's as expensive as Dom Perignon.

I don't buy Cuervo Gold for personal consumption.
Only reposado, anejo and mezcal.

Herradura Reposado - a gift from one of my
co-workers who travel to Guadalajara every month.
I actually like it and I've also had Patron
Reposado. I am going to Mexico this Thursday and
see what I can bring home.
