Q: My husband and I just love Pappasito's Cantina Mexican Restaurant. We especially love the margaritas. Could you possibly get the recipe they use?

A: Pappasito's offers a full line of margaritas, from $4.50 for the house version, which is made with a custom mix, to a margarita that uses a tequila sold for $58 a shot. Pappasito's General Manager Michael Pollack offered the recipe for their most popular margarita, the Texas Cyclone ($6.95).
