They were a hit, even with the guys, and damn easy to make. The brownie points weren't bad either.<br /><br />For a large batch:<br />36oz Fresca (0 calories hence skinny)<br />12oz Tequila (white/clear)<br />6oz Fresh squeezed lime juice (I prefer using a citrus juicer for some pulp)<br />1oz Triple sec<br />1oz Cointreau<br />1oz Grand Marnier<br /><br />The ratio of 6-2-1 is easy to scale down.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02355488962712901323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4780345729230051982.post-52534624847044421932009-08-13T17:03:29.676-07:002009-08-13T17:03:29.676-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07268656745981782366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4780345729230051982.post-64312764902937235332009-08-12T16:20:16.724-07:002009-08-12T16:20:16.724-07:00I have tried it with the Agave nectar - love it to...I have tried it with the Agave nectar - love it too!

An awesome twist, when they're in season, is to use Meyer lemons. Adds a certain je ne sais quois that is really lovely. Also, if we have it on hand, we like to use agave nectar in place of the sugar (We started doing that after El Cholo told us that's what they used!!). The sweetness is "different," and you don't have to whisk the sugar continuously to get it to dissolve, or go through the effort of making simple syrup. I like it. :)Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01682688263289811498noreply@blogger.com
