We did on the rocks. Next time I'll try frozen.

Sarah, did you do them frozen or on the rocks? I think when you do them frozen they stretch more. Jim and I drank it all ourselves...not pretty!

I don't know about your serving size... but this did not serve six. Probably four comfortably. What does that say about us? :) We used Jose Cuervo Especial and it was perfect. 6 limes did the trick for one recipe... But then we ended up needing 6 more to make another batch!

Maybe I just have a plain old crush on the Barefoot Contessa, but for me she always gets it right. This is the perfect margarita recipe. Ina provides instructions for how to do it on the rocks or frozen, however you prefer, and the recipe itself serves six. If that doesn't say "party time," I don't know what does!
There are two keys that make this cocktail truly spectacular: one is fresh lemon & lime juice (a snap if you have a citrus juicer) and the other is using white tequila. Patron is a good example. It's a little more expensive than the standard Cuervo, but when you're using just a few star ingredients, it's smart to buy the best you can afford.
Whether you like your rim plain, sugared or salted, whether you like your drink frozen or on the rocks...just say tequila.
