Jimmy Buffett's Perfect Margarita

Crushed ice
3 wedges lime
2 ounces gold tequila (Cuervo 1800)
1/2 ounce tequila (Cuervo white)
1 1/4 ounces Rose's Lime Juice
1/2 ounce triple sec (Bols)
1 splash orange Curacao (Bols)

Put all ingredients except the 3 lime wedges into a shaker. Squeeze 2 of the lime wedges into the shaker. SHAKE WELL! Rim outside of glass only with lime. Salt only the outside of the glass. Add fresh crushed ice to glass. Strain mixture over ice. Squeeze remaining lime wedge in glass.

Nope. Don't give a damn who he is, no man should make a margarita with Rose's lime. It's bitter, gross, and doesn't even really taste like lime. IMO the only way to add lime juice to a margarita is to muddle fresh limes. Any gimlet or margarita will take a big step up in quality if freshly muddled limes are substituted for Rose's "lime" juice.

A good cocktail is all about the freshness of the ingredients.
