Congratulations Tom, I love this drink, I believe I tested it for a CP and my guests could not get enough!!
This is is my kind of drink!! Throw a shot of Chambord in there and I am Heaven!
OK, between you and Sagegreen I can tell this will be a tequila week-end! Wonderful.
Your classic margarita recipe reads something like the original pound cake recipe. Gorgeous.
Tequila was always my drink of choice, too! (Emphasis on was...) Love this.
Yum. How'd I miss this one? Tequila, my drink of choice (well, in a former life, anyway.)
Looks great! I will sometimes add a splash of orange juice to cut the acid in a margarita. I'll have to give the equal parts lemon and lime a try...
Daylight saving time...late sunsets...warm nights on my mountain....alll I need is a margarita!!!! sounds like my kind of recipe!!!
