Best Ever Margaritas

On your Ass Margaritas, by John

I have to give my ex and long-term partner John, all the credit for this concoction because everytime he made them, memories were made!

Like the time the responsible Aunts and Uncles got wasted and taught all the kids and cousins the art of toilet papering the neighbors trees.



And...I sure remember that time in Taos New Mexico when the best man provided 10 gallons of margarita which caused a table-dancing havoc to ensue at the wedding.  I might not have remembered it except there was proof because the wedding party got kicked out and forever banned from the reception hall for destroying a hot-tub and some other nice property.

Or the memory of a seemingly innocent, pumpkin-carving party where drunk adults with children plus many knives should not be all together at the same time and I remember it well because there was proof on the walls and what the pumpkins looked like.

Oh and I remember the Quinceanera themed party (because we don't have them in the U.S we have to do ours on birthdays) complete with a flea-market.  I remember it well because we took turns recording how great we were playing the play-station KARAOKE game! I will spare us all the video-clips!

So make a punch-bowl or five-gallon thermos jug of them and share at any occasion, but DO try and remember my personal margarita code:

One is a Buzz (and fun)
Two is a hang-over (and really fun)
Three is a partial black out (I really, really had fun, didn't I?)
Four is a definite puke (with proof that I had fun!)

2 parts pure agave Tequila

1½ part Orange Liqueur

1 to 1½ parts Sweetened Lime Juice

Fresh Limes on the side

Quality sea salt 

If you are serving whimps or pregnant women (...j/k!!) go ahead and add 2-3 parts soda water. 

I've since upgraded the sweetened lime juice to making my own Agave Sweetner with limes and soda water.

Add fresh grated ginger in the winter or fresh mint leaves in the summer, to be stylin' and ya-know, seem cool ---for the new-times...
