A Great Margarita

Making a great margarita starts with good ingredients.  Not only will the right ingredients give you good flavor, they won't leave you with a nasty hangover either. 

Buy a really good blanco (white) tequila.  It should be 100% agave at the very least.  There are two reason's for choosing a pure agave tequila.  The first is flavor.  The second is how you will feel tomorrow.  Remember college? You slammed down shots of Cuervo Gold then looked for the license plate of the truck that ran over you the next morning.  Or worse, a roommate telling a story about fishing you out of the bushes behind the frat house.

By Mexican law, for a spirit to be called tequila, the alcohol only has to come from 51% agave sugars.
