Jim Thompson's Receipe
From JimThompson's bog.
- 2 parts Cointreau
- 2 parts limeade
- 3 parts Patron Silver
Shake violently with as much ice as will fit in the shaker.
- Strain into glasses -- or simply dump the contents of the shaker into a giant tumbler (if you're drinking alone)
- Add a wedge of lime
- Salt optional
Substituting another high quality silver tequila is OK. Porfidio is a suggestion here.
The Limeade is CRUCIAL. All of the pre-mix crap sucks. Roses lime juice is almost OK but it goes bad immediately, and tastes like shit afterwords.

Rudy Berus' Receipe
- 1 part frozen Minute-Made Limade (accept no substitute)
- 1 part cheap beer (Rudy uses Hamms)
- 1 part cheap tequila
Place the ingredients into a blender and top up with enough ice so that it gets even with the liquid. Blend blend blend ...
This is quite ghetto and the beer is fairly non-standard but it's surprising drinkable, doesn't give you a bad hangover and doesn't upset your tummy.
