no wonder I have trouble, I keep tripping over the gutter...

yeah, my famous "Atomic Margarita" is really close to what you have:
(handed down from my grandmother... not really)
3 shots of Tequila
2 shots of the lime mix o' choice
1 shot of Gran Marnier
Use a stainless cocktail shaker, fill it halfway with ice
pour in the ingredients listed above
shake that bad boy so hard and fast your hands stick to the sides of the shaker (this is where it gets it's name, you shake it so hard it gets mixed on the molecular level!)
pour into a frosty chilled margarita glass (no salt for me either), squeeze a quarter of a lime in there and
ENJOY!
Variations include:
use Pomegranate juice (1 shot of Pom and 1 shot of lime mix)
use cranberry juice (1 shot cran and 1 shot lime mix)
I also do, on occasion, take Kosher salt and sprinkle a pinch in the drink,
sweetens it up just a touch, not too bad.
Excellent choices of Tequila, by the way. I have enjoyed most of those at one time or another. Have you ever had any Don Julio? verrrry nice.
I almost don't like to waste a good Reposado (excellent for sipping with a nice cigar on the patio!) in a margarita , but, hey, WTF.
Cheers and Enjoy,
always glad to share,
and if your ever in the neighborhood of old east Dallas, stop by the patio and I'll whip up a few... or maybe more!
