O.K. .....Now were in my territory. While still a rookie at the polynesian drinks.......Tequila is the Fury's thing. The long gone Long Bar in Santa Barbara served "Chinaco" tequila , heated in a snifter......smooth like the best Brandy.....Polypop you should try it. Cuervo (even their reserve) is harsh next to a good tequila. Patron is a good second. For margaritas go to Trader Joes and get their cheap but good Montezuma (smell how much smoother this cheap stuff is compared to Cuervo) They used to have the cheap but good "Puerta Vallarta" . Also for a Cointrou (30-40.00)- like "Citronage" ($14.95) that I think is bottled by the same people that do Patron. These are 80% alcohol as compared to 15 to 20% in the other triple secs. My recipe:

2 shots tequila
1 shot triple sec
2 shots sweet and sour
squeeze of fresh lime
dash of lemoncello (Italian after dinner drink)

2 cheese enchiladas with tomatillo sauce

1 shot of Chinaco

The Secrets Out
Goodnight

Edit: On the rocks....never blended! Unless it's a Mango Margarita from Old Juan's Cantina in Oceano......per Mrs. Fury.
