MOST CINCO DE MAYO MARGARITAS ARE FOR GRINGOS
SAN DIEGO (Wireless Flash) This news could leave a sour taste in your mouth if youre planning on tossing back a few margaritas for Cinco De Mayo (May 5). A San Diego margarita expert claims most people dont know even know what a real margarita is. Enrique Gutierrez, who manages a Mexican restaurant that serves more than 670 different types of tequilas, claims most restaurants serve make-believe margaritas using sweeteners and cheap booze. Gutierrez says the best margaritas contain only fresh lime juice, Cointreau liqueur and Blue Agave tequila and the mixture should always be served on the rocks, never blended into a frozen concoction like a Slurpee. Also, leave the chips and salsa in the cupboard because a real margarita goes best with shrimp, venison or duck.
