My son once teased me for ordering a margarita the day after Thanksgiving, and rightly so. It's definitely a summer drink.
A margarita is sweet, salty, sour and cold, a wonderful thing to share with friends on a summer night.
I like them on the rocks with salt, the traditional recipe: tequila, Cointreau or triple sec and lime juice. I have no use for strawberry, banana and other variants. They may taste good, but they're not margaritas any more than a blueberry martini is a martini.
Apparently the Cointreau vs. triple sec thing inspires fiery debate, but I doubt I'd know the difference.
I've ordered non-alcoholic margaritas in restaurants a few times, but they turn out to be fruit smoothies in fancy glasses, much too sweet. I'm making it my summer mission to come up with a recipe, and I'll post it here if I hit on something.
