Hmm, tank of gas or tank of wine? Decisions, decisions.... OK, Wine.

Mojitos are nice, but I find that my wife likes them more than I do. Guiness Draught from the tap is nice (and I absolutely hate beer).

Daed, you avatar is kind psychadelic. Nice.

I agree and found that every recipe was different and none really worked. Most of the recipes are from bars and I don't think they really want you to be able to mix a good one yourself. I have gotten close recently with just:

1 shot Tequila
1 shot Triple Sec
1/2 shot Roses Lime
1/2 fresh lime

Tequila, Lime Juice, Triple Sec, Ice.

As part of an engineering project in my Freshmen year of College we had to develop and automated Margarita maker. Grades were given on complete automation, cost, total number of units made per cycle, etc. My partner and I got 110 points out of 100 (extra credit for salting the glasses). I ended up selling my half of the machine to him for $100.

I am not real big on margaritas, but I can make a mean one.

my dad has his own version which is quite good that he calls 'jackaritas' I'm not exactly sure how he makes it but I know it incorporates bananas.

Bananas? Sounds oddly appealing.
