Give me one of those sissy, strawberry slushie-type margaritas. Actually, I’ll start with two. And completely ignore the faces I make from the “ice cream” headache. ~VOW ---

No one has even mentioned honey? Tcha. Start with a shot of room temperature tequila and dissolve the honey into it, _then_ mix it with the chilled lime juice and Curaçao and pour over ice. ---

You would think so, but it wasn’t readily available when I started making them this way, and I developed a taste for honey instead. I find the honey flavor makes a subtle difference in the finished drink. Of course, I’ve also made quick-and-dirty margaritas with the lime juice cut with Sprite. Subtlety is not necessarily a relevant factor in margaritas. ---
