Depends on the recipe.A real recipe involves lime juice,triple sec,sweet and sour and the tequila, a mix is supposed to have all you need.But I know someone here can give you a great recipe.Bottom line its the tequila that is the most importantcollege_cook

Easy Recipe-
5 parts Lime mix
5 parts tequila
3 parts triple sec
Lately I've been buying this Cuervo Oranjo, and cut back my lime mix to 4 parts.
The key to the above recipeis finding some really great lime mix. My favorite is Collins Bar Lime, though I haven't seen it in forever, I don't know if they make it anymore. The lime mix should be more sour than sweet. Once thing I definitely don't like is a margarita with too much sugar.
For strawberry margaritas, thaw some frozen strawberris (the kind in sugar), and simply puree equal parts tequila and strawberries. That's your mix. When you're ready to serve, simply combine with ice in a blender.

Don't forget the ice and salt
My margarita must be on the rocks with salt around the rim of the glass. And I read, somewhere on this board, I think, that you should only use tequila made from 100% agave. It's the fillers that cause headaches the day after.Jeekinz

I prefer my silver patron in a rocks glass, on ice, with three slices of lime. Delicious!

You ever chased it with sangrita?
Sangrita - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ignore the comment about reposado and anejo. If you really like the essence of tequila, blanco is great with sangrita.
Buncha recipes on recipesource. I like the ones with minced onion.

I'm a fan of the Tequila Sunrise. I'm also not shy to pound back a few shots with a lemon or lime.

3 parts Tequila
1 part Triple Sec
Over ice in a salt rimmed glass. The first one may be a bit rough if you do not really like the taste tequila but the next one much better. ;-)
If I had the money I would purchase Hussongs Reposado. Not sure what Reposado means but I am fairly sure it is a type of tequila. Patrone Silver would be a close second for the drink above.

No Quervo Gold Margaritas, just ain't enough good burn in Tequila. She needs something with a litle more edge and a little more pain.

Blanco is white tequila, aged less than 3 months. Reposado is rested 3 months to a year. Anejo is aged for over 1 year. And now there is extra anejo, aged for over 3 years. Tequila is aged in oak casks and gets the color form this aging. Always look for 100% agave. My wife and I were in Mexico in October and Met an gentleman from the town of Tequila. He gave us a short lesson on tequila. He also told us they keep the good stuff down there.
