The tequila thread got me salivating. So, what are your favorite Margarita recipes? Here's my favorite "summer" margarita recipe. I go more traditional in the other seasons. It's hard to beat this on a hot day/night.
1. Fill blender almost to top with ice.
2. Add 3/4 cup tequila (Sauza Hornitos is my preference).
3. Add 1/4 cup Grand Marnier. (May be able to substitute triple sec/cointreau, etc. Personally, I think its better with GM, but you could probably use orange juice and it would still be good)
4. Add 3/4 cup sprite (must be sprite, no 7-up, fresca, etc.)
5. Add 6 oz. of frozen limeade.
6. Blend.
7. Drink. (I think the salted rim helps a lot).
8. Repeat steps 1-7.
The sprite actually does not make it sweeter. Instead, it gives the drink a kind of frothy consistency somewhere between a margarita on the rocks and a typical frozen margarita.

: . This one was made with 1800, triple sec & cointreu (I think they used a mix of the two?), and fresh lime.
