Using Margarita mix is just lazy, so I set out on a quest to discover the best Margarita recipe ever. So far, the winner is:

1 1/2 Cups Tequila
1/2 Cup Grand Marnier
1/3-1/2 bottle of Beer (pale ale or even bud…something not too flavorful)
1 can frozen lemonade (this is cheating a little)
A good squirt of real lemon juice
A good squirt of real lime juice

Blend, either with ice, or without and then pour it over ice. Makes 4-6 decent sized margaritas.

I found the above recipe at this site, which also gives the rationale behind each of the ingredients.
