Making That Cold and Strong Margarita

The best known tequila-based drink traditionally consists of tequila, lime juice, and cointreau. Many bartenders use triple sec, a generic orange liqueur, while others use Grand Marnier to produce a richer drink; some add a dash of Campari for taste and color. Like the Daiquiri, the Margarita can be turned into a frozen drink with fruit, but many aficionados claim that a frozen Margarita loses its distinctive flavor and tastes like limeade. They prefer the classic recipe made with a top tequila like José Cuervo Gold, Sauza Commerativo, Herradura, Patrón, or Porfidio.
