I've never been much of a margarita fan. But then I'd never tasted a margarita made the way Scott Cole makes them.

Granted the real appeal to his margaritas is that the first step is to walk out in his back yard and pick a few fresh oranges and limes to squeeze, but hey, I can move past that if I have to. And it's really more of method than a recipe.

I can pick up fresh citrus at the store, right? (I'll just keep telling myself it's the same.)

After salting the rims of the glasses, Scott fills each glass with ice. Next goes in the Patron Tequila. No measurement necessary, just to taste, he says. Follow that with a bit of Cointreau.

Then the fresh orange and lime juice. If you like them more sour than sweet, go heavier on the lime. For me, I'd skip the lime and just use fresh orange juice. But I wasn't about to complain since he was kind enough to be making my drink, afterall.

After both juices have been added, top it off with a little Grand Marnier. Why, you ask? Why not?

Just swirl and sip. Delicious. As the ice begins to melt, it only gets better. Or is that the Patron talking?

OK, my Target glasses are not nearly as cool as his vintage Georges Briard glasses, either. But I swear these drinks are delicious out of a paper cup. Hope you enjoy!

**Scott wanted me to remind everyone,"If you are going to drink, drink in moderation, have fun with it and use organic ingredients." My response, I'll have whatever he's having! Check out his website at www.scottcole.com.
