“gold” tequila is basically the lips and assholes swept up off the floor, sugar and color added, and bottled. It’s toxic for your buzz and is barely considered tequila. Do yourself a favor and insist on 100% agave as a minimum when consuming tequila.
Yes any blanco will generally taste better in Margs unless you’ve taken some care to plan your flavors.
Ahh tequila - the only energizing liquor!

I've been working my way through this thread enjoying the various recipes, trying to find my preferences.
Sort of an epiphany here tonight, I think (to me) lime flavour is paramount, I always do 2 parts lime minimum. I want to say it's more important than the tequila (or at least worthy of discussion) but I'm just used to basic stuff so that's all I'll say.
I've found when using freshly squeezed juice, recipes I loved before can be lifeless the next time I have it. And vice versa. Bottled juice sucks but at least seem to offer a bit of a bassline, although I'd say they're pretty inconsistent (ie overall flavour and acidity)to begin with.
Last batch of limes I bought I thought were going to suck - notably smaller than average, and very deep uniform earthy dark green. Like unusually dark green. Also oddly rounder than normal, no sense of the football ei lemon shape.
But the flavour of these guys is so perfectly fresh, vibrant and intense, strong but without the harsh unbalanced acid feel.
Anyone else seeking specific lime traits at the grocery store for the ultimate (possibly perceived lol) Margarita flavour ?!

Thinner skins too? Prolly key limes then. Nice. We use bottled key lime juice from *nellie and joes*. Also. Frozen vs on the rocks?

The thinner and oilier the skins of the limes (usually Persian) I find give the best flavor and more juice. Many times even over the more vibrant greener limes.
Nothing sucks more than a pretty, but pithy, juiceless lime. Garbage.I still call it The Jake.

My preference is a Tommy’s Margarita:
2 oz tequila
1 oz fresh lime juice
1/2 oz agave nectar
1/2 oz water
Shake and strain over ice or straight up.
Also very good with mezcal, or half and half.

Time to face facts: my taste buds are completely shot.

If you shake it on ice that will dilute as well. Or shake it longer if you want more dilution.
Something different than the traditional marg that I like...
1.5oz high proof blanco
1.5oz fresh lime
.75oz simple syrup (1:1)
2 dashes of ango bitter..
Shake that up, strain into a cocktail glass.is this thing on?
