While my love for champagne is well-documented (here, here, and here), I also have a soft spot for the perfect margarita. Trouble is, the perfect margarita is kind of hard to come by. Ordering a margarita comes with some risk. It could be delicious, it could be disgusting (and neon). First margarita rule of thumb: don't drink anything neon.
My favorite margarita is actually a pretty simple one:
1 oz Grand Marnier
1-1.5 oz good tequila
Fresh lime juice of 1-2 limes
Salt for the rim
Shake and serve over ice or in a cold-as-ice glass.

This is basically the recipe of one of the best margaritas I've had out in a restaurant (the Grand Gold at Zia Diner in Santa Fe).
A few other margaritas I've been itching to try:
Natalie's Beergaritas!
Tell me, what's your favorite margarita? Do you plan to raise a salt-rimmed glass for National Margarita Day?
Ooohhh I LOVE margaritas. And, as sad as this is, my favorite margarita is Applebee's Perfect Margarita. Now obviously the food leaves something to be desired, but their perfect margarita is truly perfect.

I wish I had known about Nat'l 'Rita Day in time to make some arrangements (i.e. Honey, you're on your own tonight!). I LOVE margaritas. The Blood Orange ones at Chuy's were really good, so I highly recommend you try one!
