Any Houston margarita list that doesnt list El Patio (aka Club No Minor) is missing the best/strongest rita in town.

Mango-Key Lime Margaritas

Makes 2 margaritas

This tropical margarita is much fruitier and easier to drink than a genuine Mexican margarita. If a frozen drink gives you a headache, omit the crushed ice and serve on the rocks.

1 shot (1 ounce) tequila
1 shot (1 ounce) Cointreau
1/4 fresh mango, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
juice of 1/2 Mexican or Key lime
1 cup crushed ice
2 Mexican or Key lime slices, for garnish

Combine the tequila, Cointreau, mango, orange juice, lime juice, and ice in a blender and blend until slushy. Serve in large cocktail glasses.

If by "best" you mean "small and overpriced"

Cinco de Celebration and drink specials
AWESOME MARGARITAS!!!

By the way all margaritas are made of mezcal, thats the name of the plant the tequila comes from.

luckydog1967 Fri, 05/04/2012 - 1:38pm

That would be the blue agave plant, not mezcal.
We appreciate your try. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agave_tequilana

Make sure you have a designated driver or utilize a taxi this Cinco De Mayo. Police will be out in full force, nabbing drunk drivers.

Average cost of a DWI = $12,000. Cost of a taxi ride = $40.

Spread the word that drunk or tipsy driving is NOT okay.

There's no such thing. Tequila is a cheap junk liquor.
