AVOID THE MIXES AND GO ALL

>> EXCEPT I TOLD YOU I COULD
USE THE MARGARITA BEFORE THE
"STAR WARS" JUST TO GET ME
COMFORTABLE WITH ALL OF THOSE
BAD GUYS IN STUDIO.
THE PROBLEM WITH TRYING TO KEEP
IT NATURAL IS COVERING UP THE
BOOZE, THE HIT YOU GET FROM THE
STRONG TEQUILA.
STRONG TEQUILA. SO WHAT IS YOUR SECRET?
DO YOU USE SIMPLE SYRUP?
>> VERY LITTLE BECAUSE THE
FRUITS ALREADY HAVE SUGAR, BUT
WHAT I USE, I USE A REALLY GOOD
TEQUILA.
TEQUILA.
TEQUILA. WE USE 100% AGAVE TEQUILA.
>> AND THIS TAKES ABOUT SEVEN
YEARS TO GROW BEFORE YOU CAN
HARVEST IT SO IT IS 100% AGAVE.
AND THEY USE CITRUS TREES AND
ALL OF THAT NATURAL YEAST SO
THERE IS NOTHING FAKE IN HERE.
YOU WON'T HAVE HEADACHES THE
NEXT DAY.

WITHOUT ANY ICE.

MELTING.

>> DO THE MIX FIRST AND THEN
ADD THE ICE.

WANT IT, YOU CAN DO 1.5-OUNCES
OR TWO OUNCES.
>> GO FOR THE TWO.
>> IT IS GOING TO BE A LONG DAY
HERE AT KGW.
>> OR A SHORT ONE.
>> FIESTA!
>> FIESTA! >> SO YOU GO TWO OUNCES OF
TEQUILA.
TEQUILA.

NORTHWEST.

CAN USE BERRIES, ANYTHING.
I LIKE THE MIX BETWEEN ORANGE

GOING TO DO WHEN WE CAME TO THE
ICE.
