So about 2 years ago, I was out with friends having a nice dinner at the local Mexican Restaurant. They had an extensive menu of various margaritas and we decided to try some out. While my friends tried the elaborate flavored and colored ones, I am more of a purist and wanted just the basic margarita. The margarita was good, but as the dinner went on, I began to think that I could come up with a recipe that I would enjoy even more.
I researched many recipes and went to various restaurants and tried out many different styles and recipes. I have to say, this research was quite fun! Once I had a good taste for what I liked in a margarita, I bought a bunch of ingredients and tried my hand at creating a recipe that I truly would enjoy. After many many failed attempts (those were still fun nights), I came up with the recipe below. I like my drinks strong, so this one has a bit of a bite to it. I will include a few suggestions to tone it down a bit below if my original recipe is a bit too strong for you. I have also refined this recipe to try to make it as low calorie as possible without sacrificing the flavor.
3 parts tequila (silver tequila)
1 parts sweet and sour mix
1 part triple sec
1 part lime juice
1 part triple sec
1 part lime juice
1 part Patron Citronge
spash of Lemonciello
Mix ingredients in cocktail shaker or blender and mix well with ice. Serve with a slice of lime and salt (if preferred).

If you like a sweeter margarita, use only 2 parts of tequila and add in 1 part peach schnapps.
