Courtney gives this margarita 5 out of 10 lime (not lemon) wedges.
I'm beginning to see a recurring theme with pubs and margaritas...they do not go hand in hand. Shocking, I know. Mulley's did have a couple things working in it's favor- mostly a generous portion and a quiet courtyard with strings of lights overhead that felt very appropriate while enjoying a margarita (this definitely gave them an extra point in my book- these were the only things Phoebe's was lacking!). Taste was lacking...from the start it tasted like the bottom of a drink when all the ice had melted. That being said, it wasn't bad, just not that good either. There was no salt, and as you know this is a grave sin in my book. Finally, it was garnished with a lemon wedge. We snooped a bit in our state of shock, and saw the cut limes that the bartender passed to use a lemon- who does that?!

After a few hours strolling through the Taste of Syracuse event downtown, and rockin' to an 80's cover band of old men with long hair, tight clothes, and missing teeth, what could top the evening off better than a nice, cold margarita at Mulley's Irish Pub? That's exactly what you where thinking too, I'm sure. I find Mulley's outdoor courtyard its most attractive feature, much more than the Mulley's margarita. First, the technicalities. Salt was not an option. Frozen was also not an option, but I give no demerits for that. And the garnish - a LEMON wedge. Can anyone explain this to me? And the LIME wedges were right next to the lemon wedges. After a breif moment of paralysis, we took a huge glass of something that had the color of maragrita to the courtyard. The taste was flat and boring, not one to savor, but I can't say it was terrible either. It was not too sweet or too sour, but just too weak and uninteresting. It reminded me of drinking a lemon-lime gatorade.

Spending the summer trying to pass the NY Bar and sample a margarita at all the other ones...
Do you like to taste the tequila in your margarita?
The Mission
It all started when two law students were upset to be spending the first warm, sunny days of spring preparing for graduation and the bar. And then an idea came to them: a mission unlike any other that would make studying bearable and bring hope to all who heard of it. This blog was created to chronicle the mission to find the best margarita in Central New York. The mission is starting in Syracuse, but as with any great venture the goal is to expand and go nationwide and perhaps even global. The mission aims high, but could result in new lows...
About the Misses
- Angela and Courtney
- Angela prefers not the rum-based beverages of her ancestors. No no. Rather, she finds the margarita the best tropical cocktail - the choicest concoction that ingnites the memories and senses of a hot and easy tropical haven. Angela believes this high mission will ultimately uncover a fanciful tropical retreat in the 'Cuse for all to possess. Salud y amor, mis amigos! Courtney is a woman on a mission, and thankful her husband is so supportive of this important goal. While she agrees that tropical drinks should only be enjoyed in the presence of palm trees, she believes this rule only applies to frozen margaritas. Courtney enjoys late nights with the girls, expensive tequila, and salty rims.
How do you like your margarita?
