On the rocks, using fresh ingredients, not a mix.
I like them on the rocks. My favorite is Mango.
On the rocks. With tequila, agave nectar and lime juice.

One after the other
MUST be on the rocks, with only fresh squeezed lime, Tequila of 100% agave, and maybe (for sweetness) a tiny bit of some cointreau or triple sec. Salted rim, lots of ice- and that's it!
I love when limes go on sale in February, 10 for $1.00, at HEB. We are margarita happy, every day at 4 PM, on our dock. Zuljin, you stop in at 4 PM anyday in Feb and I"ll personally make you a margarita!

My mouth is watering...
On the rocks. Only lime. I don't consider any other flavor a margarita.
Fresh ingredients, good tequila, and a salted rim are the key.

You and L are invited. South Texas, January-March, on the dock at 4 PM. I'll even pick you up at the airport.

Really, yall? Really?

But, really? Rocks?

Yep. Come on over, and I'll have you screaming "Rocks!" to the heavens.
Rocks, I promise.
I add a little orange brandy to mine and I prefer resposado or anejo tequilas over blanco. I also zest my lime. All that goes in the shaker and gets the hell shaken out of it, then goes unstrained (rocks and all) into my glass.
Sometimes I make a whole pitcher this way and mix it 50-50 with a nice IPA.

Yooper, are you going to be mixing these margaritas naked? 
On the rocks for me too, but really prefer sipping my tequila.

It depends on my mood, I prefer the rocks but enjoy a blended one every once in a while. If I'm out of limes I use frozen limeade concentrate. So Yooper do you only drink them when you are in Texas?
Frozen. No salt.
Why no selection for "on tap"???

What exactly is a "naked" margarita?:cross:

On the rocks. Though I tend to mix mine as Tequila and Tonic. Its less sweet and tastes better.

Trust me, no one wants to see that. I'd scare old people and small children.

We have the same brand of triple sec. We don't use our washing machine as a mixer, though. You are hard core!

Yes, rocks. Just like with a real daiquiri and a real pina colada. Frozen is for when you are too lazy to make a separate non-alcoholic batch for the kids.
And the salt is strictly for when you are out of agave nectar or Tripel Sec but still have lots of tequila and limes.

I like rocks, but really don't like salt on the rim. And it's weird, because I like salt in general on things.

LMAO!!!! Yes we are Zuljin, YES WE ARE!

Oh, how the pale and pimped underbelly of HBT's drinking culture has been revealed. I am now hesitant to ask the next question, but I must. It is the method.
My friends put homemade margarita on tap for their new year's party. He used fresh squeezed limes, which was great, but the pulp clogged the poppet valve on the corny pretty quick. We had to back flush the valve, filter the 'rita, then re-keg it. Worth it, though.
I always thought the salt was to help restore your electrolytes and to dry you out so you want to drink more.
Just like Brawndo, its got electrolytes!
What plants crave!
Ha ha ha... I filter the pulp beforehand and I make them several days ahead of time so they are carbonated!

I think he passed out.
Wonder if, after the hangover passes, he will remember what the question was supposed to be.
I believe this is what he was referring to.

While I'm not a fan of beeritas, I am now thinking of how to brew one. Yes, Budweiser kind of did it already, but if we home brewers can do anything (just ask us) we can out brew any major brewery.
50% tequila, 25% fresh squeezed lime juice, 25% Triple Sec, on the rocks, no or very little salt.
for being a bunch of home brewers, too many of y'all are too much of purists. "real chili does NOT have beans. if it's vodka, it's not a real martini. real margaritas are only on the rocks. I just brewed a hibiscus jalapeno pale ale with molasses."
frozen, rocks... freshly home made, mix... salt, no salt... super ultra premium tequila, bottom shelf tequila... flavored, regular... personal taste is a real bastard.

Real chili most certainly does have beans. If it ain't got beans, it's hotdog gravy.
Now, you can put whutever you want in beer, so long as it has grain in it too. No grain. No beer. A baked fish is not a beer.

There's chili, then there's chili with beans.
Put beans in if you must, just don't put f***in' noodles in the damn stuff and I'll loosely agree that it's chili.
