Anyway - I researched the ingredients I'd need - which are simple but not quite as simple as Cuervo tequila dumped into Cuervo Margarita Mix (aka - lime flavored high fructose corn syrup (ingredient list below)). Three things are needed: tequila, Cointreau (or triple sec - I haven't been able to find the actual Contreau brand yet) and limes.

These are the ingredients/brands I used for my first batches of margarita. I followed the guidance of 3:2:1 - meaning three portions of tequila, two portions of triple sec and one portion of fresh squeezed lime juice.
Enjoy the summer of the margarita!
Cuervo Margarita Mix IngredientsJose Cuervo mix: Water, high fructose corn syrup and/or sugar, citric acid, natural flavors, sodium citrate, sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate (to preserve flavor), cellulose gum, polysorbate 60, gum arabic, glycerol abietate and FD&C Yellow No. 5

I'm looking forward to one of the authentic margaritas! Here's another margarita fun fact from Wikipedia:
According to the promotional flyer for the legendary Balinese Room in Galveston, Texas, head bartender Santos Cruz created the Margarita for singer Peggy (Margaret) Lee in 1948.
As it happens, I have recently been doing some research on tequila in general and margaritas in particular. The key to taste seems to be : 100% agave. Cuervo makes a 100% agave tequila but only their cheaper stuff is available here. I did a taste test of Cuervo pre-mixed margaritas vs. another brand (can't remember what it was) made with 100% agave tequila. The non-Cuervo brand cost 30% more and tasted much better. The all-agave tequila has a 'whang' to it giving a much better drink. I would like to hear the opinions of others on this.
I only drink beer !!
