Does anyone have some killer tequila-based recipes?

I'm a tequila lover & my new drink of choice is the "Dallas Star", the signature drink of the Dallas Trader Vic's, a drink so good, they even had their own Trader Vic's glasses made with a star incorporated into the tapa pattern!

The Dallas Star (Doctor Z's version*)

1 pineapple ring, 1/2" thick
5 mint leaves
1 1/4 oz. Milagro Reposado tequila
1 oz. Cruzan Coco
1/4 oz. blue curacao
Juice of 1 whole lime
1 oz. agave nectar

--Muddle pineapple & mint with a little ice.
--Add remaining ingredients with some ice.
--Shake.
--Strain into rocks glass with ice, allowing a little of the muddle mixture into the glass.
--garnish with slice of star fruit

*I use my favorite tequila, a stronger coconut rum and usually up the quantities from what's here; everything else is the Vic's recipe

PS - I'll be serving these in my room at Oasis... :wink:
