I had never heard of this until I went to Ranch Market and ate at Tradiciones, the adjacent restaurant. In the words of Arizona Republic reporter Karen Fernau, "For Mexican-food junkies, shopping at Phoenix Ranch Market is like strolling through Disneyland." Amen sister. More on that later.
I was shopping for many other items so I didn't try the margarita and so I have no idea if mine is even similar, but I was so infatuated by the idea of cilantro margaritas that I improvised. Delicious, fresh and lovely!
Cilantro Margaritas:
(serves 2-4, depending on how thirsty you are)
10 small limes, quartered (key limes or Mexican limes)
2 cups cilantro, not chopped
4-8 oz good tequila
2 tbs Splenda (can use simple syrup)
1/2 cup orange juice
1 cup soda water
Directions:
Muddle cilantro, sugar and limes in a pitcher.
Pour in tequila and all other liquids. Stir and serve in salt-rimmed glasses.

I'm not sure I am that advertureous.
It does sound odd!! If you love cilantro then you'll love this margarita. For cilantro-haters, it will be gross. :)
No I'm infatuated by cilantro margaritas. Thanks for the idea!
These were so delicious! The cilantro surprisingly didn't seem odd or out of place at all. I can't wait to see if Tradiciones Cilantro Margaritas can compare to these!
So, how does your recipe compare to the restaurant's recipe?
