Queer eye for the RESIDENT COCKTAIL EXPERT of the Bored regarding Margs??
The skinny Yellow piss marg calls for 1 part lime juice, 1.5 parts Sauza Hornitos (or El Jimador silver) and 1.5 parts cheap triple sec. Used to use Cointreau or Grand Marnier but felt I liked the flavor better just using the cheap shit. Plus there's more sugar in the cheap, shitty triple sec so one doesn't have to add in any agave syrup or something like that.

It's hotter than a snake's ass in a wagon rut down there so I guess this makes sense.WilburHooksHands said:

Try, 1 part fresh squeezed key lime juice, 2 parts Don Julio Blanco, 1 to 1.5 part(s) Cointreau and tune with simple syrup if you like a little sweetness ... and/or go rogue and add a splash of some fresh squeezed valencia orange juice. Shake and serve on ice with a slice of lime.YellowSnow said:@Dennis_DeYoung would you mind sharing your preferred Marg recipe with us?

Use fresh ingredients instead of mixer and you're fine.

as stated in a previous gay thread on COCKtails takes too long to make
my margarita is bite a lime, slam the tookillya, and next time try to remember the salt -
Only one L in Tequila. But there's two L's in "you talk like a fag and your shit's retarded."Tequilla said:

Sorry. Didn't mean to be so hurtful. Just had you pegged (not homo) as more of a Kirkland Signature 100% puro de agave sort of guy who wasn't as much into the snobby side of cocktail making like the RESIDENT COCKTAIL EXPURT OF THE BORED.Tequilla said:

Speaking of the Costco 100% agave silver - how is it? Saw it's only about $30.00 inclusive of tax for a 1.75L. I went with the 1.75L of Sauza Hornitos which they have now for $41.00 including tax which is a screaming deal. Normally I prefer a silver tequila but the Hornitos Reposado is pretty light stuff. -
I rmeember back around 2010/2011 or so it was impossible to get 100 percent agave for less than like 24 bucks.

I’m way more snobby with my liquor ... just don’t go super crazy with ingredients like DDY doesYellowSnow said:

Tequila is a liquor to me where the quality of the liquor used depends on its purpose. The Costco agave silver is actually quite good for a well liquor use. If I’m looking at a night making a number of marg’s for people it’s a great option. Likewise, I use marg’s a lot in cooking Mexican food whether it being taco meat or as a marinade for chicken. If shooting or going for 1-2 quality drinks in an even going higher quality is always better for the next day. In general, the clearer the tequila the better for me.
My preferred margarita recipe is as follows:
About 40-50% of a glass filled with tequila on ice
Of the remainder, equal parts triple sec and either lime juice or a margarita mix (I actually prefer Costco’s vs others at liquor stores that are too sugary for my taste but to each their own)
I then make sure that I include anywhere from a half to full squeezes lime in to finish. I’m not a huge salt guy so that isn’t part of anything that I do. -

Obviously, fresh ingredients are better but sometimes I don't want to have to squeeze twenty fucking limes in a sitting. I've been using this with the wife and it serves as a good stand in. Less sweetness than most mixers but enough that you don't need to put agave syrup or anything similar in. If you are skipping the triple sec(which I normally pour light on anyways) you can pretty much mix this straight with tequila and enjoy. Easiest & cheapest no effort margarita there is. I use it for camping generally. Also works for a whiskey sour when it's fuck all hot out in the daytime.

Simple in a lot of ways is better unless you are trying to impress somebody or Dennis

There's a time and a place for both. If I want to impress I can from years of bartending and being a consultant but I'm also perfectly content to drink something simple and decent if I'm camping or just eating tacos with my family at home.
Tequila pics from bottom shelf to top shelf order
Kirkland - Totally acceptable well. Of the cheap name brand tequila's sauza is probably the only one I'd buy.
Hornitos Repasado (Silver is ok but I actually don't like their anejo) - Price point quality, decent in a drink or by itself. Most bars will have it for a reasonable price.
Milagro/1800 silver- About the nicest thing I'm willing to put into a drink. Anything nicer and I think you are ruining good tequila with other bullshit.
Corralejo Repasado - Just drink it. Don't fuck about with it.
Clase Azul and others- At this point, it's all good. For the price though, either drink it at home or go to a decent tequila bar where you do a legit tasting. Ordering this at a bar that either isn't in Mexico or isn't focused on specifically tequila is ostentatious imo.
Would be happy to read your pics @Tequilla While I'm a fan of good tequilla it isn't necessarily my drink of choice. I drink scotch if it's straight liquor and whiskey as my cocktail choice mostly.

I appreciate the hawt takes here on margs fellas. Mrs Snow basically lives off my margs from April to October and I'm always trying to fine tune the craft, whilst keep the cost per reasonable. Now if @Dennis_DeYoung would fucking weigh in already with the recipe for the best possible marg...
-
If she likes margs just make her a classic daiquiri with Flor de Cana 7 year or Ron Abeulo 7 year. You can't really fuck those up and they are just as good if not better than a rocks marg.YellowSnow said:I appreciate the hawt takes here on margs fellas.

My other well would be Cuervo.
Agree that Hornitos is solid. I also will go with some Cazadores as well.
Patron is usually good but IMO largely overpriced -
If we’re talking about good drinks when it is hot out ... I’ve largely switched out tequila for vodka

If it's good enough for Johnny Drama, it's good enough for me.
