DEL.ICIO.USMargarita Madness
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Friends and I dropped by Rosa Mexicano last night for a margarita and some guac after hitting the after-Christmas sales ( it was insane, btw — the sales, not the margaritas). Rosa’s is known for its margarita’s, so we decided to do a little side-by-side comparison shopping.
We each tried a different tier in the margarita mix: la unica — made with reposado, orange liqueur, line juice and Grand Marnier ($12); la clasica — made with silver tequila, triple sec and lime juice ($9); and la suprema — made with reposado, orange liqueur, lime juice and aged Grand Marnier ($16) . Each was served on the rocks with salt.
The verdict? Save your cash for the guac — nothing about the $12 and $16 margaritas justifies paying that price — they were good, but almost too sweet. The clasica was sturdy and tart, with a good pour of tequila.
Where do you go for a great margarita?

I absolutely love the margaritas at Pozole in Highlands. They’re made with crushed ice so it’s the perfect combination of a frozen margarita and one on the rocks. The one made with jalepeno juice is especially sour and delicious!
