Michael's "More Than Perfect Margarita"

We got this recipe from the San Antonio Winery

1 1/2 ounce Siete Leguas Blanco
1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
1/2 ounce Prunier Liquer d'Orange

Mix tequila, fresh lime juice and orange liquer in a cocktail shaker. Shake well. Pour contents from a shaker into a salt-rimmed glass. Garnish with lime wedge or a cocktail olive.

Old School Strawberry Margarita

I started making margaritas at 9 years old for my brothers' parties. Here is the recipe they taught me. I probably use more strawberries. You can tell by the color when it is just right

4 shots tequila
2 shots Triple Sec
1/2 small can frozen limeade concentrate, undiluted
1 cup frozen strawberries
Ice

Pour liquor, limeade and strawberries into a blender.

Fill to the top with ice. Blend.

If you aren't a do-it-yourself-er, here are Caroline on Crack's suggestions for getting your drink on.
