    I think you both should make a margerita with the cointreaux and tequilla!

    Merlin, I believe that touch of Cointreau at the finish would be delightful. Great suggestion. Thanks, m'dear. :)

    Lovely Luna,

    This sounds fantastico. Perhaps add a tablespoon of Cointreau at the end for sweet? Sort of like making a margarita. Whaddya think?
