Mad Dog Margarita

Now that I have found you people, can it be that someone will finally be able to tell me what a Mad Dog Margarita (as in Guy Clark's Dublin Blues) comprises?

Best wishes,

Mick

Welcome to eGullet, Mick.

According to this page, the "mad dog" part of the margaritas sold at the Chili Parlor has to do with the (terrible quality) brand of mescal used. Other than that, they don't seem to be anything special -- in fact, they are apparently quite horrible.

Thank you for an instant and knowledgeable reply.

I can now stop accosting bar staff with American accents with demands for an explanation.

Best wishes,

Mick
