Margarita by Jerry Pasqualetti (on the rocks)

Ingredients Required:

·         Lasco Classic Margarita Mix (34 oz bag of powder)

·         Good Dark Tequila – Resposado (you do not have to use a premium like 1800 – any good gold resposado tequila will work fine)

·         Triple-Sec

·         Gran Marnier (Bauchant Liquor Napoleon (from Spec’s) is great economical substitute for Gran Mariner and is essentially ½ the price)

·         Rosa’s Lime Juice (Concentrated lime juice in a bottle)

Mixing Instructions:

·         In a ½ gallon container, mix 7 ozs. Of Margarita Mix Powder with 22 oz. of water and shake or stir to disolve thoroughly

·         Add 19 oz. Tequilla

·         Add 9 oz. Triple-sec

·         Add 9 oz. Gran Marnier

·         Add 5 oz. Rosa’s Lime Juice

Shake all contents to mix.  Refrigerate until thorughly cooled before serving (overnight, if possible).  These are a bit strong but once the ice melts they are just right.  You can always just keep a batch in the refrigerator and be happy!
