"I have been trying to develop what I think of as the perfect margarita for quite a while and I think I've hit on a combination that's pretty close. The lime rimming salt adds just the right finishing touch (the little bit of sugar brings out the lime taste). I have used measurements here for format (I usually like to do drink recipes using "parts"), but you can adjust the proportions to the amount you want to make (i.e., 1/4 cup = 1 part)."
