Who Makes the Best Margarita in Town?

That sweet yet sour, salty and tart burst of citrus flavor every time I have a margarita has won my taste buds over and makes me wish today was Margarita Monday.

Wait, who needs a certain day of the week to enjoy a bit of alcohol and citrus!?

Although there is so much more to Mexican cuisine (see this blog or read this book) than tacos, enchiladas, and mmm...guacamole, my guess is that Cinco de Mayo next week will bring out a ton of tacos, and of course, margaritas.

So, who makes the best margarita in town?

My vote is Plaza Ventana - the one on Blackstone and Shaw.

I believe the recipe for the original (order it on the rocks) is this:

• 4 jiggers Sweet and Sour Mix
• 1 jigger Tequila
• 1 jigger Triple Sec
• 1 jigger Gran Marnier

Shake, then serve on the rocks with a salted rimmed glass.

Note: That's from memory, but I'll give it a try and make adjustments if necessary!
