I generally prefer Cointrou when concocting home style margahooties...El Paso Chile Co makes a killer mix for a top shelf, or Texas Gold style margahootie, which contains real key lime juice, some orange juice. Real tasty. I've never tried mixing beer in, but will have to give that a go.
I just wish our state lawmakers would get realistic and allow beers with more than 6% content, so we could get some of the specialty brews around here. Goofy.
Already raining here and the wind's kicking up, so enjoy your day...I'm in couch potato mode for the day.
Got back from riding to lunch & the lake for a quick brewski about 15 minutes before the bottom dropped out. My better half had threatened me & our riding buds with our lives if we got wet - no rain on the ride, but WINDY. I lucked out for once....
Terry - yours is very similar to my homemade concoction. I use Patron now since I like the taste of the blue agave stuff better, even in mixers. Several others work well as tekillyas for us - the 1800 Cuervo is a favorite also.
Cointrou, triple sec, or Grand Marnier, some lime juice, Patron, & a little OJ sometimes. A few years back a friend in St. Louis had to STRETCH his recipe, due to lack of ingredients, and he used beer. Worked ok so depending on my mood, I'll add a little at the end to top off the pitcher. Will try that El Paso Chile mixer stuff - sounds good.
Saw you guys were getting lots of rain. Stay safe!
