I used a blanco tequila and a dash/load of Crystal hot sauce. Flavor fantastics and flaws immediately flourished... Use a spicy salsa verde. Wish I had one on hand. It's been a while... Blanco will work well enough but, again, I wish I had the call spirit in house today... A good-great Margarita with much potencial.
