Margarita question

[Bootstrap77]

Off topic a bit, but we did that once in search of the best cosmo. Worst one was at the martini bar, best at Al Bacio!

 

I love cosmo’s and never would have thought to ask for one at al bacio. Great idea. I like their aspen coffee too

To the OP: I hate the powdered sweet and sour mixes that are used. Some bars have pre-mix that is a blend of fresh lemon/lime juice and syrup but it's still not great.

 

If I find a "good" bartender, I have a friendly conversation and give a little expression of thanks for their troubles and make a special request to have fresh lemon juice/lime juice for both Patron Margarita's - made with Grand Marnier - and Lemon Drops with Grey Goose Citron and Cointreau :)

 

They may not always be able to do it immediately but usually they'll get in a supply of fresh squeezed lemon/lime juice - or extra fruit to hand muddle for rest of cruise.

 

I’m intrigued with the lemon drop. I’ll have to give that a try.

We were on Equinox on the 06 November cruise and was able to get fresh lime margaritas without a problem. They always had squeezed lime juice in a container in the fridge. No, not the sour mix, real lime juice. Drank them the entire cruise.

What bar? Any bar?

Can anyone tell me which, if any, bars on the sillouhette can make a margarita on the rocks with freshly squeezed juices or from scratch? Thanks :)

 

Now I have a mission, after reading the other posts. I love margaritas so much I actually have a tattoo of one on my back. Going on the eclipse Jan 21st. First time on a celebrity ship. I will now seek out the best, stay tuned.

Pool bars are always slammed and I've never been able to get fresh lime or lemon juice. But the Ensemble Lounge and Martini Bar should both be able to get fresh juice on request if they don't already have it.

Just got off Reflection.

These were probably the worst margaritas I have ever had.

We had to send them back a couple of times, lack of alcohol.

I’ve always wanted to try one with agave nectar.

 

 

 

Check out the Tommy's recipe on liquor.com but 1/2 the agave nectar since the recipe is a hair too sweet.

On the Eclipse in August of this year. Best Margarita was at the casino bar. Specify Top Shelf with Grand Marnier topper!

If you have to have something "orange" in a margarita, it should be Cointreau, which is a higher quality version of triple sec (some of those early Margarita recipes did add triple sec). On the other hand, Grand Marnier has a cognac base, which is not really a very good compliment to Tequila.

In any case, I do hope folks on this thread try Tommy's recipe made with just a great Reposado, lime and agave nectar. You will be very pleased.
