    When I eat Mexican food, I drink Margaritas. Always whatever top shelf the restaurant serves. (And I don't go to crappy restaurants.) Always on the rocks, with salt, and NEVER in a Martini or Margarita glass. Has to be a tall tumbler.

    One restaurant I used to frequent had a Grande served in a Margarita glass so big and unstable you couldn't pick it up until half empty. Salt rim on a glass that requires a straw is a waste.

    Good tequila, fresh orange and lime and either on the rocks or shaken and strained.  That’s when I drank.

    I think Top Shelf would be a great nickname.

    The comments about the bottled mixes being too sweet is right - at least the ones we've bought.  As a result we now doctor them up with more tequila, more lime, and more ice - and then we enjoy them slowly because they actually taste better as the ice melts and it dilutes everything.  

    We're currently slogging through the bottles of mix that we bought a while ago.  We are unlikely to buy them again.

    Here's 2 of my favorite tequilas. On the rocks with salted rim. This bottled mix is the best one I've found. Dr. Swami Bone Daddy's Top Shelf, it has citrus particles in it.

    I LOVE that table top! You make that??? Chairs also appear to be natural wood shape...make those also?

    I didn't make it. Made by a local craftsman. It's a huge slab of redwood. The chairs are made with a combination of redwood, manzanita, buckeye and birds eye maple.

    Very nice! And I won’t try to pry…but I bet that whole set cost you a few coins…but at least to my way of appreciating that kind of craftsmanship then it was worth it….much less knowing that it will only appreciate in the years to come! That set is a wonderful, useful investment!

    When we bought the house the previous owner didn't want to move it. He paid 10K, we offered him 6K and he took it. My wife was not near as thrilled as I was.  :)

    Anytime I do real margaritas someone winds up on the floor.  Also I like a splash of OJ

    No way prep time is just 5 minutes on that one.

    Back in the very early 90's, I was introduced to Mexican restaurants and $1 margaritas at lunch. Always on the rocks and they always did the trick. Wasn't out of the question to go 2-3 times a week.  Have had to scale back greatly over the years with both, but still work them in a few times a year.

    @gonepostal - since you are here and a horseplayer, any keen insights regarding the Derby this Saturday.  I had planned to shoot you a PM but better the forum reads your wisdom. And I understand if just bailing on this whole post!  B)

    I was planning on firing you a PM to get the local inside scoop!  I skipped the preps this year and don't have a live future. I did pull up the lineup last night, and plan to include "Angel of Empire" in whatever wager I do put together. Which because of that, should be your first cut. 

     I took both Friday and Saturday off this year.  Regardless of the outcome, always a good day of drinks and food on the egg. This thread actually has me craving a pitcher of margaritas. Might just take a look at some of the above recipes.

    Angel of Empire gets a lot of talk here along with the obvious-Forte and Tapit Twice. Some other mentions-Practical Move and Two Phils.  A true 20 horse challenge.  Good luck.

    I know its not a margarita, but I have really been enjoying Condigo with Topo Chico and Lime.  Almost a "skinny" margarita.

    Herradura Silver and Cointreau work for my margaritas on the rocks. 

    This is me.  Never Grand Marnier in a margarita.  It's cognac.  Gross (gross in a margarita, cognac itself is nice).

    I'm going to do a side by side taste test of Cointreau VS grand Marnier. 

    It may require multiple tests to validate.

    You can look for a small, local orange liqueur in your area. We used to use this first one in Texas and now use the second in Colorado

    Grove Street also has a green chile liqueur that is great in margaritas.
