This is a festive (and potent) margarita recipe--my preference is to use
 the best tequila you can get (go ahead, use SIPPING tequila!) and serve on
 the rocks with salt! Oh yeah, and it looks nice in those margarita glasses
 with the blue edging!
 2 parts tequila
 1 part Cointreau
 1 part Rose's lime
 one drop blue food coloring per 2-4 drinks
 lime wedges (1/4 to 1/6 an average lime)
 salt
 rub glass rim with lime wedge and dip in salt
 squeeze remaining juice into glass over ice cubes
 mix liquid ingredients well in a shaker and pour over ice
 garnish glass with another lime wedge
 YUM! ;-)
 substitutions:
 If you prefer "frozen" margaritas, pour liquid ingredients in a blender,
 add enough ice to increase volume by about one third, and blend!
 1 part Blue Curacao may be substituted for the Cointreau/food coloring
 combo but the resulting flavor is slightly sweeter
