#2 Nobody uses Cointreau, it's too expensive. Triple sec. I tried this kind of receipe and my family coughed and said it was way too strong. It's mostly alcohol.

#3 My wife uses Cointreau. AND Grand Marnier. And a medium grade tequila. The hardest part is the mixer (splat is right - the recipe is too strong) - had a good one but it got discontinued. Tried several without success. Jose Cuervo mixer is ok, though not great. Crushed ice. Salted rim optional.

#5 I use Cointreau. But, if you really want expensive, try Del Maguey's Chichicapa meszal, if you can even find it. Can't be beat. Another neat trick is to substitute Tanqueray for Mexican agave products.

#7 In ascending order of sweetness: triple sec, Curaçao, Cointreau, Grand Marnier. I prefer to keep the sweetness down. Also, no reposado or anejo. I like the rawer flavor of blanco. The lime juice and ice dilute the alcohol.

#8 I used Grand Marnier at a party when the drunken mob at my house drank up all of the triple sec.

I like Grand Marnier because it puts a civilized top coat on a drink that is designed to be harsh and ruthlessly effective.

I really like margaritas with triple sec. I juice my own limes and I use 2-1/2 ounces of tokillya to 1-1/2 ounce of triple sec.

Of course where I come from, we threw the cork away when we opened a bottle of tequila because we wouldn't need it again.

#10 Sauza Silver is cheap, tasty in a mix. Order the Cadillac and they'll give you the shot of Grand Marnier so you know you got it for the $
