J-Rad's Profile

I bartend at a tequila bar. Do not use triple sec. The orange flavor is only there to mask the flavor of BAD tequila. What you want is to enhance the flavor of the agave plant that the tequila is made from by using the nectar from the same plant: Agave nectar. Available nationwide in most grocery stores next to honey.

The best recipe is 2oz Silver tequila (something better than Patron please: Corazon, Partida, Tequila Ocho, Fortaleza, et al) 1oz fresh squeezed lime juice and 1 oz AGAVE nectar.

If you want to float some Grand Marnier and make it a cadillac, fine, but please god, no triple sec
