The center hole of this cheese cake, which you fill with molten chocolate, is what makes it unique. Because of this, it is known as “Muddy Chocolate Cheese Cake.” While it’s hot, enjoy it.

Very traditional. Very nice. Sour, fruity, salty, refreshing.
This is perfect. This is the REAL margarita! Easy to make and so delish!
I think I can make it everyday
I think this would help me doing it everyday
It is pretty good-it is pretty strong so you won’t care after a bit.
Fun and different margarita martini. The tequila is the main flavor, but that’s how it should be!
Pity the poor Margarita. The original concoction was a relative of the Sidecar: brandy, Cointreau & lemon juice served in sugar rimmed glass. The Margarita substituted tequila, with lime and salt being the traditional accompaniments. Then the mongrelization began. When I came upon the Margarita in the 70’s, it had been reduced to cheap tequila, bar mix and a pound of ice to be processed in a blender: an adult Slurpee. Follow the above recipe as if your life depended on it. Use a quality tequila, Cointreau and fresh squeezed lime juice. Triple Sec has always been used by bars as a cheap substitute for Cointreau, but they don’t taste the same. As far as turnbot’s use of an eggwhite, you are on your own. A Margarita is a cocktail, not the breakfast of champions.
This recipe is not bad: my “perfect margarita” calls for only half an ounce of triple sec (as opposed to 1 once; that much will override the great tequila flavour). Speaking of tequila: your margarita will be as good as the tequila you buy! Avoid the “well-brand” tequilas: for an affordable yet tasty tequila, get Cazadores or El Jimedor reposado. I’m not a fan of “straight up” style margaritas, so I’ll always have mine with lots of rocks (ice), or blended. If you want a really frothy, truly PERFECT margarita… Before shaking, throw in half an egg white into your shaker! You’ll never go back – trust me!
