I've had the black, don't know that it would be good in a margarita. It's more like a whiskey or bourbon taste, better to sip on ice or mix with coke.

I guess that I didn't post my speacial blend. So here it is, the Tonedog Margarita:

16 oz glass
4 oz (plus or minus) tequilla
1 oz (or a splash) triple sec
a generous squirt of lime juice
ice
top with sweet and sour mix
1-2 oz Patron Citronge (orange liqueur)
Garnish with a lime wedge

I'm not big on mixing things, I just put the ingredients in the glass in order, and always lots of ice. The real key is to float the orange liqueur on the top ( you can use Grand Mariner or whatever you perfer). I don't think that the tequilla matters much when you mix it in something strong tasting like this. I'm also too lazy to squeez fresh lime juice, but it's best if you do, and make fresh sweet and sour also.

So that is my favorite Margarita, which I believe is the perfect Lake Havasu drink.

Lets see your favorite drink recipe, and what makes it speacial.

Maybe I'm just picky. I think the tequila makes a big difference. I always use 1800. :good

I have a recipe here someplace that uses Key limes and it sets for 24 hours before drinking. Supposed to be the worlds best margarita. Who could wait 24 hours.

Why ruin good Tequila with Margarita mix? Try sipping Jose Cuervo Familia de la Reserva on the rocks. (sure it's expensive, but well worth it)

Amen Brutha! It's like mixing good bourbon with coke.....why bother.

But again, just my opinion.

And I stand by my statement, it's much more about the liqueur floater than the tequilla. After you sip that shot off of the top, you don't even realize there's tequilla in there. And if you do, you didn't put enough Citronge in there.

I loves me some 'ritas! On the rocks, please. :good

Hmmm, I have a cheater bucket of 'ritas in my freezer...although I think it has twice as much tequila in it as it is supposed to. :drink

I just may have to open that bucket to cool off, someone over at another board just got my temper fired up. :pissed

Going by the your recipe list and not mixing, tequila on the bottom and liqueur on top, I guess your right.

Those are awesome! I have a 3 gal 'Bubba Keg'...it's a cooler that looks like a beer keg, with a tap on the bottom. Throw in a bag of ice and your favorite mix and it's a party to go! :drink
