We were honored to celebrate an Easter birthday with our friends Sue, Phoebe and Mike. Sue made her favorite drink in honor of her birthday: the margarita. Not normally tequila drinkers, we make an exception for Sue’s fantastic margaritas.
Her magic recipe is roughly:
- 2 parts tequila
- one part triple sec
- one part rose’s lime juice
- 1 part fresh squeezed lime juice.
Serve on ice with a salted rim and celebrate!
Phoebe’s version was orange juice with a salted rim. Mmmm.
Happy Birthday Sue! We are honored to count you, Phoebe and Mike among our very best friends. To many more!

This is a drink that I sometimes use to trick people into liking gin.
1 1/2 oz. gin
1/2 oz. Rose’s lime juice
Mix on ice in an old-fashioned glass. Garnish with a slice of lime.
Raymond Chandler, the great author of detective novels, liked to make this drink with half gin and half Rose’s. Indeed, if you consult the “Gimlet” entry in the Oxford English Dictionary, you will find a quotation from Chandler recommending just this recipe. I think that such a ratio would make a disgustingly sweet drink, but that was the age of dictators and of the atom bomb, after all, and people needed some comfort.
Happy Birthday Sue! We are honored to count you, Phoebe and Mike among our very best friends. To many more!
