It's why I just stick to beer when I'm out.
Instead they put nice spirit and shit mixer and Jack the price.
Although for a margarita it's okay. The popular thing now seems to be putting a pretty good tequila with fresh lime and agave.
(Yes DDY I realize it's not actualy a margarita but no one uses the good orange liquer for less than like 16 bucks so fuck off)

I actually have found my margs with fresh lime juice and good tequila and cheap triple sec taste better than with Grand Marnier or Cointreau.Pitchfork51 said:

Hendrick's
For me, it's become ice cold Tito's with a touch of olive juice served in a martini glass rinsed with vermouth and skewered olives stuffed with blue cheese.AZDuck said:I always thought a martini was really cold gin with a green olive in it

Total wine has a house brand orange liqueur (legit stuff 70 proof) for like 16 bucks. It's the move.YellowSnow said:

Straight warm vodka is fine too and I like Tito's. But it's best suited for tomato juice and a speshial bend of seasonings.Pitchfork51 said:straight cold vodka is fine. just dont pretend its a cocktail.

Bombay SaphireExtra dry(for the exact reasons dennis' described) bombay or hendricks served slightly dirty with 2 or more olives. You can tell me it's not technically a martini but if I order it as anything else they'll fuck it all up.
