Austin Margarita (aka Mexican Martini) image

After living in Austin Texas for 10 years, my husband and I perfected the perfect margarita. The secret to success is fresh fruit juice only and it doesn't use any pre-made mixes! Don't skimp and try buying juice. Squeeze it yourself or you won't get the best taste! If you are a real olive lover, add pimento stuffed olives and call it a 'Mexican martini'...delicious! and you won't confuse yours with anyone else's if you add 3 olives on a stirrer. :)

This margarita is a bit too sour for my taste. I think I'll use more Grand Marnier and Cointreau next time.

This margarita is the perfect balance of sweet, sour, and salty. The fresh lime juice and Grand Marnier give it a wonderfully complex flavor. I'll definitely be making this again!
