Fine tuning my margarita recipe
I think I put too much lime juice in this one. Do limes have lots of vitamin C in them? There should be some compensation for making a drink that's just a bit too much on the sour side.

compensate with a spoonful of suger and salt on the rime.

Try it as an enema. I hear lime does wonders down under.

Yay. Limes do have lots of vitamin C. There's nothing better than an alcoholic drink that does you good.

I guess you don't know the origin of the term "limey bastard"

Oh I do know about limeys; no scurvy here thank you.
So here's the fine tuned recipe:
Put cocktail glass in freezer to chill.
Into a shaker put:
2 oz silver tequila
1 oz Grand Marnier
3/4 oz freshly squeezed lime juice (don't use sour mix!)
two large ice cubes (or four small)
Shake vigorously until ice cold. Strain into chilled glass. Sip slowly, perhaps with tortilla chips and salsa.
