Baby A's

Midori Margarita, all I know is that it's a house rita with Midori in it. Not too bad, 7 of 10

Baby A's

Purple Rita: menu says it's ingredients are as much a mystery as the Bermuda Triangle. Definitely has a grape slush taste. Ok rating of 6 of 10, but I hear that I will feel it later. We will see.

Casa Padilla

1 oz. Pepe Zavala Reposado Tequila, 1-1/2 oz. Charro Triple Sec, and 1 oz. Pompeii Lime Juice,( no real limes that were any good could be found), blend and pour. Add shot of Grand Marnier, or Grand Gala. Enjoy. 8/10

Krave Wine Bar and Bistro

Tastes like the basic margarita with olive juice. Mediocre at best. Ehh.

Krave Wine Bar and Bistro

Didn't pay attention to the Tequila and orange liqueur. Overall though 5/10. Sweet and sour mix could have been better.

Casa Garcia's

Red Sangria Margarita oh wait, I did this one already. Still an 8/10 as before.

Casa Garcia's

Told her not such a great job on the top shelf, and asked what else do you got. She said I got a white Sangria Margarita that's already mixed in the machine.(can't mess that up too much). Its just the house Margarita with White Sangria wine mixed in. Didn't know there was a white sangria, but not bad. A little too sweet wit the white wine but solid 6/10

Casa Garcia's

Bartender claims she makes a good top shelf margarita. We'll see.

Sweet and Sour mix is too stale, and doesn't seem to have enough triple sec or Gran Marnier in it. It gets one extra point for excess Tequila, but other than that it would be a 4.
I am better off with the House Margarita. 5/10

Casa Ole

Elevated Rita made with Avion Silver %100 Agave Tequila, Gray Gala and Lime mix. Plain with a little too much lime in the mix. Could use little more Gray Gala. 5 of 10

Tortuga Flats

So we go to this place I didn't even know existed. The menu for the Mexican Martini states that there is a limit of two per person. The waitress claims because they are so strong. It's Happy Hour and they are normally $10. Happy Hour price $7.50. Waitress said its got Jimador Tequila with agave and fresh lime  and orange juice. Seems like too much sweet and sour and not enough Tequila. The good thing though is that the shaker is relatively large . I filled my martini glass 7 times,( it was kind of small though) Overall it is a 5 of 10

Outback Steakhouse

Sauza Gold Coast "Rita", obviously Gold Sauza, not enough triple sec, and too much sweet in the sweet and sour. Good price though $4.25. Overall a 4 of 10

SaltGrass Steakhouse

Don Juan Margarita has Don Julio tequila, claim of fresh lime juice with agave nectar and topped off with Grand Marnier. Sweet and Sour mix is a little too sour and could use little more orange liqueur. Without the Premium Don Julio Tequila this would have been a 4 but it qualifies as a 5 of 10. It costs almost $11, that doesn't help.

Jimmy Changas

Tres Generaciones Reposado, st. Germain elderflower liqueur and fresh lime juice. I really don't think the lime juice was fresh, if so the limes were not that good. Also could have used more orange. 4 out of 10.

Jimmy Changas

Perfect Patron Margarita at Jimmy Changas with Patron silver and Patron Citronge Liqueur for $8.98. Simple enough. Not enough orange and sweet sour mix was really off. 3 out of 10

Iguanas Ranas Cantina

Texas City restaurant, which means lizards and iguanas. Patron margarita plain and simple. Could use a lot more orange liqueaur and definitely more Patron for the $8.50 price. Nothing special, it qualifies as a margarita but needs a lot of work. 3 out of 10

BJ's

BJ's TOP SHELF MARGARITA - Cazadores Reposado Tequila Cointreau Orange Liqueur Grand Marnier Fresh Lime Fresh Orange. Nothing much to say about this particular one here in Friendswood except that I it barely tastes like a margarita and more like a lime fruit juice. 2 of 10

Chuy's

Mexican Martini at Chuy's.

According to the menu it has triple sec, lime juice, Tequila, sounds suspiciously like a Margarita.

Ordered Premium version at $11.75 a pop. Came with a shaker, a Martini glass and olives with Jalapenos stuffed in them.

Did not care for the olives themselves, but they did seem to enhance the overall flavor. Not too sweet, not too sour, and just the right mix of orange liqueur and Tequila.  In fact, I liked this drink so much, and it pretty much is a margarita with olives in it, I give it a 10. That's right i said it. Finally a 10 out of 10. If you try only one drink I have written about, this should be the one. And they don't even call it a margarita.
