Intrigued by the 5+ star rating, I chose the "Californian Margarita" to celebrate Cinquo de Mayo. It did not disappoint, and in my humble opinion, lives up to the lofty rating. And I used plain ol Blanco Tequila. I can't imagine how the Silver would be an improvement. I rim Margaritas with a mixture of sugar and both lime & lemon crystals (full disclosure, I lean toward the sweeter end of things.
