At one point I was in search of the perfect margarita. I never figured it out, but came up with the Davrita. If you like the taste of tequila, you will find the first one goes down surprisingly easy. And then you'll want another one. After you finish the second, you'll find your judgment seriously impaired and think a third one is a good idea. Occasionally people make it through the third Davrita and start a fourth. This is waste as I've never seen anyone (including the inventor) successfully finish the fourth. The closest anyone has come to my knowledge is spilling the damn thing.
Anyhow, to make the Davrita you need a good tequila. And a pint glass with some ice cubes....
Fill the glass about 1/2 - 2/3 with tequila depending on how many ice cubes are taking up precious volume. Next, add some orange stuff, like Contreau. Say about a 1/3 of the amount of tequila:
By now your glass should be close to 3/4 full. Add the juice of one fresh lime:
Finally, if you want to cut it a bit, fill up the rest with orange juice and add just a pinch of salt. Stir gently and give someone else your keys -- you're finished.

Did you drink a Davrita mid-week?

ReplyDeleteThose sound good. Really good.
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of what were given to me as Bullfrogs. One part limeade concentrate, one part lemonade concentrate, add tequila and ice. A little tangier, not as sweet w/o the Grand Marnier or Cointreau.
The BEST margarita mix, and I don't know if it's sold out your way, is in the cold case, in a quart sized plastic jug from Tommy's. One part of that to one part tequila. I've made it through a fifth of tequila with a girlfriend one night thanks to Tommy's. It's just that tasty. It helped that the tequila was good, too.
GOOD tequila is the key.
ReplyDeleteMan, it's been a year since my last Davrita, & I admit I never thought I'd want one again... but that photo made me change my mind! Awesome.
