How to make the perfect Margarita
- Pour fuel into a glass bottle until it's about three quarters full
- Insert cloth far enough to dip into the fuel, that's your wick
- Let about finger's worth of wick protrude from the bottle
- Make sure the seal is tight by stuffing in more cloth
- Tape neck to hold cloth in place

- Light and throw
