Based on the fact that Austin has hit a bit of a "warmth" moment in our winter and I've been in the mood for single malt, I was in the mood for a Gillia! 
A twist on the Margarita, this carries that perfect ZaZa lemon tartness that just gets you going! Depending on the specific Tequila, reposado or silver could work, but silver gives this drink a different view...sharp and fresh.
There are also other Horny Toad recipes, with little in common, including triple sec/coffee liqueur/cream, lemonade/triple sec/vodka, and of course light variations on the Margarita! This is, obviously, not those. Get horned.
1 oz. silver tequila (El Tesoro or Herradura)
2/3 oz. Cointreau (other orange liqueurs don't seem to be the same)
1 1/3 oz. fresh lemon juice
Crust a margarita glass with salt. Shake all ingredients with ice. Half of the time, I like to strain into glass filled with crushed ice. Otherwise, strain into crusted, chilled, cocktail glass
This may sound like a catastrophe, but it is a brilliantly balanced act. The Last Word is equal parts gin (for me, Boodles), Chartreuse, maraschino cherry liqueur, and fresh lime juice. I do have a preference for a whisper less Chartreuse, taking a touch of the licorice off. Josh Loving and Bill Norris of Fino Austin turned me on to this drink and it is a staple at my house! I'll say again... on paper, it doesn't look so great, but it really works!
3/4 oz. gin (Boodles)
3/4 oz. green Chartreuse (maybe a whisper less)
3/4 oz. maraschino liqueur (Luxardo)
3/4 oz. fresh lime juice
Shake well with ice. Strain into chilled cocktail glass.
