I spied a 4 pack of canned margaritas at the wine store and decided the wife might like them.  Ugh.  We still had one can left after 6 months or so and I told the wife I'd take one for the team, I poured most of it out.  Probably the worst I've ever had, and I tried to doctor it with fresh lime juice, no luck.

I tried the Fevertree tonic water and to me it tastes like the regular stuff.  The wife claims Schweppes is the best but it tastes like CD to me, no difference in a G&T.

The neighbor brought over a bottle of South African syrah last night, the wife was not a fan, chocked some down to be neighborly.  I fixed chuck roast in the hot pot.  I thought it was good, but the wife said she didn't like how stringy it is.  Huh.

I had some Evan Williams Single Barrel again, and I think it's a pretty good value relative to WR (which is better IMHO).
I've never had any margarita dry or liquid mix that produced drinks as good as the simple old staple:
  • 1 can of frozen limeade, then using the now-empty can
  • 1 can of tequila
  • 1/2 can of triple sec

This is my go-to, but I also use his Mezcal recipe from time to time.

A Classic Margarita
FROM RICKBAYLESS.COM

Servings: 1

Ingredients

  • Coarse (kosher) salt
  • 1 lime wedge
  • 1 1/2ounces 100% blue agave resposado or not-too-heavy-tasting añejo tequila (we love Herradura añejo)
  • 1ounce brandy-based orange liqueur (such as Torres Orange)
  • 1ounce fresh-squeezed lime juice
  • A little agave syrup (light organic syrup gives the best flavor) or simple syrup, if you want a little more sweetness
  • 6 to 10 medium ice cubes (about ¾ cup)
Instructions

Spread the salt on a small plate, moisten the rim of a 6-ounce martini glass with the lime wedge, and upend the glass onto the salt to crust the rim.
In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice and ice.  Cover and shake vigorously until frothy and cold; tiny ice crystals will appear in the drink after about 15 seconds of shaking. Strain into the salt-crusted glass and serve immediately.

I like the taste of lime juice a lot.

I love brandy but I don't like the flavor of brandy-based orange liqueurs in a margarita, they influence the flavor too much when I want to taste the tequila and lime juice.

It's all about balance with this one (and all of Bayless' stuff). Give it a try. I keep Torres 10 on hand for the Mezcal version too.

Oh I've tried them all.  It's a common recipe down here.  Perhaps you don't realize this, but we do a lot of margaritas and other tequila-based drinks, being right next to Mexico and all.  :) 

I simply don't like the flavor of brandy-based orange liqueurs in a margarita, it's too much and it is NOT balanced in my opinion.

I just go with G&T or V&T, a lot easier to make for me.

I do those, too.  I don't discriminate against the various liquors and cocktails.

Meh I'd go with one of the Local Pils or Helles Lager in the warm weather.Just avoid those clear bottles with Palm Trees on them that suggest you cram a lime inside

I've been trying to deal with a foot issue for a while now, and today, as I've been trying some stretches I read about, it has decided to flare up. Might have to go to a damn doctor about it (when the shutdown ends), who will tell me I need to not run for months. Bleh.

That too.  There's room for ALL the things, all the booze. :)
