Ooh, now you have to go and get a bottle of Mexican Controy and let me know if it’s really different. I heard it was better, and I actually have a bottle I use in margaritas, but I haven’t done the head-to-head test….

I’m a fan of Sauza Hornitos myself. It tastes funny.

I don’t want to ruin my upcoming article by spelling it all out here, but I can answer at least one question:

they put the salt on the glass to hide the fact that they’re using crappy tequila.

All right, now I want a margarita! Teach me how to make one peter! Petron, Reposada, or Anejo? All I’ve got in Reposada. I have ice. I have a large mug, that will do right? What else? I’m skipping the salt. I hate the salt. Why do they always spoil my margarita by putting salt on the glass?

That’s a pretty broad statement, and clearly excludes colleges and universities from Texas on west to California. In Texas, New Mexico and Arizona at least, everyone, everyone, drinks margaritas year round. It’s easy to find good ones, too.

The slurpee form of margarita has it’s place. That place is a deck overlooking a lake in Austin, with the scenery mentioned above. You might disagree, but sometimes a boozy slurpee is the best thing you can drink.

> frat boys

Hey! I resemble that remark.

But more to the point, there’s not a frat boy in existence that drinks margaritas outside of Spring Break in Cancun. At least, back when frat boys were boys.
