Perfect Patron Margarita, Patron Silver Tequila Tres Agaves Agave Nectar and fresh lime juice, topped with Patron Citrőnge Orange Liqueur. After complaining about the last ones, "not enough alcohol", there was more than enough this time and it helped mask the bad lime juice. Just above the average mark. 6/10. Patron always helps.
Rio Grande Margarita, Azùna Reposado
Tequila, & Patron Citronge Orange Liqueur., with with Tres Agaves nectar and lime and orange juice. Sweet Sour mix is too sweet and the sour just isn't right overall. Also not enough alcohol. Maybe 4/10. Need better limes if they really are fresh.
Mexican Martini Real Gusto Tequila , Cointreau, lime juice, oj and Spanish olives. Too much olive juice, same bad lime juice, too much salt but still drinkable. (I can taste the tequila) Needs a little more sweetener like agave nectar or even simple syrup. 4/10
House Margarita Reposado Tequila, Triple Sec, Fresh Lime Juice and agave nectar. Too much lime taste and not enough tequila or triple sec. Taste like a bad lineage. 2/10
Italian Margarita: Sauza Gold Tequila, triple sec, orange juice, topped with italian amaretto. The amaretto comes n a seperate shot glass, so you know it is a fill shot. Good mix of liqueurs. 7/10
Tokyo Margarita. Camerena Silver Tequila , Patron Citrőnge, lime and sweet & sour with a splash of orange juice.
Not enough tequila and too much orange, and not enough sour. Overall, a 6 of 10.
Top Shelf Don Julio with Patron Citronage. Average taste, nice amount of Tequila, (Good Tequila), would have been a 5 without it. 6/10
Blanco Tequila, orange liqueur and some olives and olive juice. Too much olive juice and not a good choice of Tequila. 6/10. Only because the glasses are nice, really 5/10.
BFM" Best Friday's Margarita", Patron Silver Tequila, Grand Marnier, lime juice, lemon juice, and agave nectar. Not very strong. Maybe too much agave. Patron can definitely be tasted. 6/10
New Mexican Martini. Green Chili infused, Jimador Silver Tequila, Cointreau. Good Mexican Martini with spicy kick. 8/10
The ingredients are there, just gotta get the ratios right.

1/2 oz Charro Triple Sec
1 tsp olive juice
1 tsp simple syrup
1 olive
Shake in ice
9/10
Midori Margarita
Basic Tequila, Midori Melon Liqueur, Gran Gala, lime juice and sweet & sour. Too much melon. It looks like it could glow in the dark. Tequila is not very discernible. Too sweet on the sweet & sour. 5/10
This time using Charro Triple Sec instead of Gran Gala, and less olive juice.
1 oz 1800 Silver
1 oz Charro Triple Sec
1 oz Pompeii Lime Juice
1/2 tsp olive juice
2 tsp simple syrup
Shake with ice and pour with strainer in martini glass with two olives.
Definitely sweeter.
7/10
Starting to venture into Mexican Martinis, Really like the one at Chuy's, (checkout previous Chuy's blog.
Started out simple while watching Barry Gordy's,"The Last Dragon"
1 oz. 1800 Silver Tequila
1 oz Gran Gala
1 oz Pompeii Lime juice
1 tspn olive juice
2 tsp simple syrup
2 olives
Shake in ice, and serve through strainer in Martini glass.
Not bad for first try. Too much orange liqueur taste from gran gala though. 5/10
Specs was out of Don Julio and Tres Generaciones, (Really?). The next best thing was 1800 Silver. So, 1 oz. Pompeii lime juice, 1 oz. 1800 Silver, 1 1/8 oz. Charro Triple Sec, blended with ice, than add a shot of Gran Gala, stir and enjoy. 8/10
Top Shelf Margarita: Reale Gusto Organic Tequila, fresh lime juice, cointreau, & agave nectar.
Im thinking I really don't like Reale Organic Tequila. Overall though not bad
5/10
Especial Sauza Hornitos Reposado Tequila, Grand Marnier Orange Liqueur, Tires Agaves Nectar, and fresh lime juice.
Good amount of Hornitos Tequila, with a good mix of orange liqueur, agave nectar and fresh lime juice, gives it a good sweet and sour balance while letting the Tequila taste sine through. 9/10
