If you looked at the photo, the glass I used is from Lucky Bones, a bar and restaurant I've gone to a few times when I visit my friend Joan. The last visit, we both ordered a margarita.  We had the worst and the best ever.
New bartender that day.  The drinks were terrible so we told the waitress.  She did not replace them, but instead, she brought over some additional rum, some mint and we turned them into a great drink.
We'll probably go back when I visit this spring.
