On of my new tequila is ultrapremium Leyenda de Milagro Selected Barrel Anejo (82 USD). I use this extraordinary spirit for construction of Ultrapremium Margarita. I now, that common case anejo tequila is not right ingredient for Margarita. The spirits of this quality usually reserved for sipping, not for mixed drinks. But I purshase this tequila for one of my new Margarita in my Ultimate Margarita search.

For my Ultrapremium Margarita I use anejo tequila, fresh lime juice and Grand Marnier liqueur in ratio 3:1:1. The cost of these three ingredients is more than 125$ Not bad, as for me!

I create this individual post about Ultrapremium Margarita because this is very special cocktail. The taste of this Margarita more closer to Side Car. Actually it is great cocktail which has rich and strong taste. This cocktail is no comparable to my over Margarita.

Coronado Luau Special

This recipe from From “Beachbum Berry’s Grog Log” by Jeff Berry and Annene Kaye (1998). Coronado Luau Special is signature drink of now defunct Luau Room in San Diego`s hotel Del Coronado.

Delicious mixture of lemon, lime, orange juice and select rums tantalizes with a hint of Grand Marnier work very well on long summer evenings.
