I’ve long wondered @creepycoug if the Cuban Bicardi was better than the current Puerto Rican stuff.

I hate the bullshit when they do line juice and agave nectar and tequila and call it a margarita.

Need real orange liquer bitch.
Then it's good.

At minimum, triple sec is required. At best an orange liqueur plus fresh squeezed limes and some agave is preferred

I'm pretty much at the point I never order cocktails when out. Beer and wine.

In a hotel bar for like 20 bucks they make a good cocktail but that's pretty much it.

I try to avoid anything too fancy when out ... you’d be shocked at how many places make a shit Collins

Bourbon and coke is hard to fuck up ... those places that serve stiff drinks get my business

Places that have Pepsi vs Coke deserve to be run out of business

I've said this before, but it's NOT A MARGARITA if it doesn't have orange liqueur.

The word for a 'sour' (which is a drink with lemon/lime juice in it) that is sweetened with orange liqueur is a DAISY (because typically they would appear yellow).

The TEQUILA version got the SPANISH name for DAISY: Margarita.

Anything else is a Tequila Sour.

So I've been on the a quest for the perfect pour man's orange liquor and have to give the Patron Citron 2 thumbs down. It's way too dry compared to Cointreau which is the best stuff to use in a Marg. I should have know better since Parton is a product geared towards douche canoes like Sark.

Total Wine sells a good orange liquer....I forgot what it's called. 79 or something. It's like 16 bucks too.

The folks would always bring back an umbrella or stir stick after they went to Trader Vic's after the Huskys game. I would assume my dad drove home drunk

Maybe in Arizona. I can throw a rock and hit three different good bars in downtown Long Beach.
