Well Jose Quervo is no friend of mine! 
Yeah, what SMSgt said. Open bottle of Mezcal, drink it, eat the worm, then hope like all heck you wake up near a bathroom. Oh, and keep the curtains closed and don't look at any clocks.

Back when I was manning the pumps at a Mexican restaurant we had a killer top shelf recipe that had a bunch of goodies, including Gran Marnier, in it. It was delicious. However, these days our favorite authentic Mexican joint has the best margaritas I've ever had, and they consists of a decent blanca tequila, agave syrup and lime juice. Simple and to the point, with two being the limit.

1. Buy a bottle of tequila and a bottle of Margarita mix - brands unimportant
2. Read instructions on Margarita mix bottle label
3. Follow them

A brief deviation from margaritas-
Years ago at the Grissom AFB NCO Club, they had a drink called the "Knockers Up." It came in a tall glass with a shapely woman on it with her . . . well the name says it all. It was very tasty! Don't know what was in it, but I had three one fine, fun evening. I don't remember much, but everyone at work was telling me how much fun I was when smashed. I must have been because the club quickly set a limit of two Knockers Ups.
Back to the Margaritas.

Basic old School Mexican recipe calls for fresh Lime Juice.
If Limes not available, Fresh Lemon Juice.
First one I ever had was made that way in Matamoros, Mexico.
Since then I have had a significant number in a bunch of other places.
Some chains and local places make and buy mixes which contain some fresh juice.
Others just buy regular commercial brands.
Me lately?
I Use Trader Joe’s Mix.
Lots of ice, shaken in a Fruit Jar.
Yes, I drink Fruit Jar margaritas.
I prefer Reposado Tequila.
Many recipes call for White - Blanco.
Recommend you try several mixes.
One cheater trick is to add Triple Sec or other Orange flavored liqueur when using a bottled mix.
Many mixes including my Trader Joe’s are strong in the lemon-lime area but weak in the Orange flavor.
Joe label claims Lemon and Lime Juice Concentrate.
Then ‘natural Flavor.’ They don’t actually list ‘Orange.’

Every bar tender seems to have a different recipe for Margaritas. If you want a BIG one like in many Tex Mex Restaurants, expect, Margarita Mix, Sour Mix or Simple Syrup as an extender.
I tend bar and make my Margaritas pretty simple. 1.5 ounces quality Blanc Tequila, 1 ounce of Cointreau, 1 ounce of Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice. A small dash of unsweetened Orange Juice (Cointreau and Triple Sec are orange based). And that is it, though I keep Agave Syrup for anyone that wants it.

Take the ingredients for a top shelf margarita.
Throw them all away except the Grand Marinier.
Now you're good to go.

Mine is:
One can Minute Maid (that's brand specific) frozen limeade dumped in a blender.
Use the can to add one can of Tequila. I just use some gold major brand.
Add about a third of a can of Triple Sec. Any brand.
The juice of one lemon.
Fill the blender up with ice and blend it thoroughly. Be careful, they are strong. Adjust accordingly.....
