Margaritas Magnifico

I love Mexican food, and, like many who do, I have a favorite restaurant that’s been around since the days I was in high school. Recently they started providing curbside pick up, something I found I absolutely could not resist. My aunt, generally my partner in Mexican food eating crime, heard the same and suggested we both order. She’d pick up the food, she told me, bring it out to my house, and we could enjoy it at a safe distance. Wonderful, I replied, I’ll make the margaritas. Truth be told, while I had drunk plenty, I had never actually made a margarita. But, I know what I like, so gave it a shot. I’m not going to say these were the best part of the meal, because it was excellent, but these were amazing. My aunt is a dozen years older than I am, and said this was the best margarita she had ever had in her life. I have to agree. We seriously could not stop drinking them. Maybe we’re alcoholics, maybe it's the pandemic, or maybe, just maybe, she is absolutely right!

Margaritas Magnifico

2 c. sweet and sour mix
1 c. Patròn Tequila
½ c. Triple Sec
1/3 c. Patròn orange
1/3 c. Brandy

Pour all ingredients into a cocktail shaker and shake away. Chill in the fridge until ready to serve. Salt the rims of four margarita glasses, add ice, and fill each with this magnificent nectar. Sit back and wait for the compliments. Serves 4...or maybe only two...or one, I don't judge.
