This combination of ingredients simply doesn't work with our tastebuds like Rick's Topolo Margarita does.

I have been making margaritas this way since I was 12, what's new? But Rick you forgot one very important ingredient, a splash of Domiana. Learned this one from an old lady in LaPaz.

This is a great margarita. It is reminiscent of the ones you get that come in a shaker and you can only have 2 max.
