Vilis' World's Greatest Margarita Recipe
My best results occur when I mix this in a standard blender:
1-1/2 cups good tequila! Life is too short to drink cheap tequila! Jose Cuervo Gold is the minimum standard. My personal favorite is Jose Cuervo 1800. And, face it, the margarita will be incrementally better if you jump up to a higher-end brand (besides the better the tequila, the less severe the hangover!). Experimenting with high-end tequilas will add subtle flavors and allow you to create your own signature margarita. My latest favorite is a brand called Cazadores recommended to me by Fernando Avelar whose family has a legacy of growing and harvesting the blue agave tequila in Mexico
1/2 cup Grand Marnier This is as good as is gets. I do not float this on top but rather mix it in with the blender.
1/3 bottle of beer Yes, you did read that right, a bottle of beer. The best results are with a standard bland American icon beer like Budweiser, Coors or Miller. Avoid micro-brews with lots of character as this will leave an aftertaste to your margarita. Beer is one of the few food groups that are basic (non-acidic) and so the addition of beer to this margarita will make a mellow tasting, smooth drinking formula. It also adds the barest hint of carbonation during mixing. This is one of the 'secret' ingredients and I have never had anyone guess that there was beer in their margarita.
1 can frozen lemonade I've experimented with lime-aid, and all sorts of lemonades. You will have to do the same. I avoid the ones with the pulp. Sometimes you will have to add sugar if you've selected a sour brand.
A big long healthy squirt of Real Lemon This is real lemon juice concentrate and adds the wonderful lemon tanginess a great margarita needs.
A big long healthy squirt of Real Lime This is real lime juice concentrate and also adds the lime tartness for a subtle enhancement.
Water or Ice to fill up the blender My preference is to add half ice and half water to fill up the blender to the top. The best margaritas are quite concentrated but then poured over a heaping full glass of ice that starts to dilute the power of the cocktail as it melts. Now, lately we've been serving these straight up of "perfect" in a margarita glass or (my personal favorite) a martini glass. Shake it up on the rocks and pour it in straight up. Somehow this promotes more of a sipping approach (very fast sipping often, but still technically still sipping)
sugar to taste As you are completing the mix portion in the blender, you may choose to add sugar to taste. By doing it in a blender you don't have to worry about a granular texture in the drink.

Margaritas come in slightly different versions, and they're much better when you substitute a better orange liqueur for Triple Sec, which is rather bitter. Either Grand Marnier or Curacao or Sublime (a French orange liqueur) would taste better. Choose any good quality tequila, and if you don't find a Sour mix ready made, use fresh lemon and lime juices sweetened with sugar dissolved in water. Adjust the amounts to your own taste; I haven't found the traditional recipe to be very good, myself, and I think it needs more lime and less lemon. But, to each his own.

don't worry bout the spelling.....You guys don't have ready made ingredients? Liquor store sells them already mix....sorry I am completely clueless when it come to the UK....
5 fluid ounces tequila
3 fluid ounces triple sec
2 (6 ounce) cans frozen limeade concentrate
4 cups ice cubes
Salt the rims of 2 large margarita glasses. To do so, pour salt onto a small plate, moisten the rims of the glasses on a damp towel and press them into the salt.
In a blender combine tequila, triple sec and limeade concentrate. Fill blender with ice cubes. Blend until smooth. Pour into glasses, garnish with slice of lime and serve.

It is Margarita and the best one would be:
Billionaire Margarita
Casa Noble Margarita
2 oz. Casa Noble Reposado
1/2 oz. Grand Marnier
1 oz. Fresh lime juice
Shaken over ice
Brand names are key and you can find both Casa Noble Tequila and of course Grand Marnier in UK.
