joshnich Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Fresh Lime juice. The limes should be mexican limes available around here at mexican food stores. They are sweeter than the standard lime. In a pinch a key lime will work. In a rocks glass, tequila over ice (certainly not blended!) with a dash of triple sec or cointreau and sweeten with agave nector. You can also make them in a martini shaker just like a up martini. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WMcD Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 How about some fresh Sangria for those who want something less strong (i.e. not get drunk on their butt). Smile. WMcD 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungkiman Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 4 hours ago, jimjimbo said: Water? For real? Say it ain't so. Yes. The 24 servings mentioned are in pint sized glasses filled with cubed ice. The water and sugar amounts in the recipe translate to roughly 1.5 oz of simple syrup per serving, plus whatever water you get from ice melt.

mungkiman Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Here's a roughly scaled down version of the recipe I like: Ingredients (Serves 6) 12 ounces silver tequila (about half of a 750-milliliter bottle) 5 ounces triple sec liqueur (1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons) 4 ounces fresh lime juice (1/2 cup) 4 ounces fresh lemon juice (1/2 cup) 7 ounces simple syrup (3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons; see note) 1 lime, cut into 8 wedges Kosher salt Instructions Put all ingredients except lime wedges and salt in pitcher. Stir well. Moisten the rims of 6 glasses by making a crosswise slit in a wedge of lime and running it around the rims. Dip in shallow container of kosher salt. Fill glasses with ice up to the rims. Fill with tequila mix and garnish with a wedge of lime. Serve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockhound Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share Posted July 1, 2019 I have not "Shot" tequila in a long time, the last time I did that it did not end well lol. Anyway @Pete H brought some Cabo to Hope this year. My first time trying it thought it was REALLY good. I'll mix the Rita's for guest and sneak in some shots for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted July 1, 2019 Moderators Share Posted July 1, 2019 I had a few at Pilgrimage, Glen and Verna (Picky) had some they wanted me to try it, a few times, it was good.

Pete H Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 @rockhound you know my opinion; give everyone a couple drinks of some smooth tequila straight up, maybe a little KY crafted bourbon as well and you won't need any freaking recipe. On a serious note, in the past, some Cuervo Black as the primary with the right amount of Grand Marnier, can make most off the shelf mixes just fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, the best one, in our humble opinions, is the Casamigos Reposado, which is aged about 1-1/2 years. Very smooth, detailed with a buttery-peppery finish. That is the one I believe you've tried with us. -Glenn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
