    Willy's Margarita

    This is still a bit of a work in progress, but I thought I'd share it anyway in the hope of getting new ideas/twists (pun intentional). I do like it as presented.

    To start, I am done buying ready-made sour mix--MAKE YOUR OWN! Secondly, my "sour mix" for margaritas probably doesn't have much use beyond margaritas-the OJ seems wrong for most sour mix applications. Anyway:

    The Margarita: Equal parts sour mix and silver tequila (maybe more tequila than sour mix ). Don't go nutso using (wasting) expensive tequilas, a decent silver tequila will suffice. Costco sells a 1.75 liter bottle of Kirkland brand for around $20.

    The Sour Mix: Equal parts of lime juice and freshly squeezed OJ. Add 1/4 to 1/2 part agave syrup (that is, a 1/4 part relative to the one part lime or OJ, NOT to the mixture of lime and OJ). You can use sugar, but I find the sugar often doesn't dissolve well since we aren't making a simple syrup over heat. I haven't tried honey yet. You could also mix some lemon juice in place of part of the lime and maybe cut back a bit on the OJ. I like my margaritas pretty tart, but add more sweetener if you wish.

    I like mine on the rocks, no salt, but you could certainly salt the glass rim if you prefer. I don't even wanna THINK about turning a margarita into a slushy.

    With you on the frozen margaritas, never been a fan. Except maybe when it's god-awful hot outside.

    Mix is always interesting. I've seen plenty of versions with nothing more than triple sec and lime juice, but then other recipes insist on mix.
