So later last night, I had to make a "real" margarita:

2 oz Casa Noble extra anejo (kindly given to us by the Casa Noble folks at Tales of the Cocktail)
1 oz Grand Marnier
3/4 oz Key Lime juice from our Key Lime tree (I was all out of powder!)
2 bar spoons of agave syrup
Garnished with a Key Lime slice.

Remove pants and enjoy...

Thought the depth of the extra anejo would overpower the drink, but it didn't. I also worried about the Key Lime juice, since it tends to be tarter than your Persian lime. The tequila actually accented the agave to the point that we had to had another tad of key lime to balance it out. Probably because I didn't use powdered agave...
