I have wanted to make a margarita tasting drink after drinking the little budritas. The only difference is I want mine to taste good not like a bunch of artificial flavorings.
After doing research it looks like I should have about a 25/75 split between honey and agave nectar. The one issue I found is it does not retain enough flavor after it is fermented. Since tequila is boiled out of the heart of the plant and retains the impurities and flavor that has been refined out of the nectar. Funny thing is I have a few blue agave plants in the back of the property, so I got to thinking I could pull up a small one and cook it up to get the flavor. After putting it into the secondary I would add some key lime juice.
Thoughts?
