    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

    That's where the Westin be now.
    Trader Vics was at that Westin in my bar hopping days
    I saw @RaceBannon drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic’s and his hair was perfect.
    And I had love in my heart

    Words cannot describe the love in my heart for Warren Zevon.

    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.
    Maybe in Arizona. I can throw a rock and hit three different good bars in downtown Long Beach.
    I'm talking about vegas yo

    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.


    Gran gala. I use it for drinks all the time especially when they are for company that won't know the difference anyways.

    Oh thats right, forgot about that. Vegas sucks for cocktails unless you are either paying too much or find a divey local place that can do classics.

    Gran Gala is good. In a marg there’s no way to really tell the difference between that and Grand Marnier.

    It’s not quite the quality of GM; but it’s well done. It’s more like a Toyota Land Cruiser vs a Range Rover.

    But those guys aren’t triple sec: they are orange liqueur with a brandy base. Cointreau is triple sec.
