Cocktail of the Week - A Perfect Margarita

If you have spent any time on this site you will know that I LOVE tequila.  There is something a little "magical", or potion-esque, slightly spirit-ed about it.  Tequila excites me; stirs my soul and seduces me...everytime. 

Mexico is one of my favorite places on earth.  The people, the food and the fiesta make it an enchanting destination.  I long for lazy days by the sea...fish tacos...ice cold Pacificos and hopefully some hot guy speaking to me in Spanish.

Drinking this margarita just takes me there.....

I serve my margaritas "up" in martini glasses.
