A couple of comments on your margarita:
That is a good ratio if you use GM.
I would suggest a better anejo tequila than the one you’ve mentioned, because the one you’ve mentioned is not 100% Agave. Try Centenario Anejo, for instance.
But if you like to vary margarita flavors from time to time, here’s a great alternative:
1 oz. Cointreau
2 oz. premium silver 100% Agave tequila
the juice from a fresh lime.
A final alternative borrows from a Mexican tradition of beer and lime, and is fun for variety:
1 oz. triple sec
1 oz. Reposado tequila
the juice from a fresh lime
and a splash of a pilsner style beer.
These are all good margarita recipes, and stay relatively true to the pure goodness of the classic drink

Hey, Wade! Thanks for the tequila tip — I’ll definitely see if we can get some in, through our local boozeteria (er, the *good* one, that is). Unfortunately, I’m allergic to beer (yes, you read that right) so I won’t be able to try your Mexican version, but I’m sure the GG and Mooby will be all over it! Cheers!!

[…] Look out Horschak, your cocktail is gonna high five you right back! Arieanna has been finding these at all of her fave cooking shops, but we haven’t come across them yet. I think they’d look great with a lime stuck on the end, hanging out of a killer margarita. […]
