make sure you have some conch while you guys are there. Oh, and don’t do like I did and run into a shark whilst snorkling. While nothing happened, it was still wicked scary! have fun!

correction: I use white tequila, not rhum (was on my second glass of Sancerre; my apologies).

“If you like your margaritas so tart you might have to close one eye to swallow”
Yes, indeedy, I do! Thanks for the recipe, I had been planning on hunting one down in preparation for a housewarming/cinco de mayo fest. We’ll see if our party can produce the same sort of humorous after-tales that yours did. As for Bel Canto, what a lovely read. Hope you enjoy the book, the beach, and everything else.

Sortof makes me want to lick the limes, those photos are great! Enjoy your vacation, where the margaritas are made for you:).

For a variation: when you make your lime juice syrup, add about two or three thumbs of rough chopped (and peeled) fresh ginger and some chopped lemon grass. Adds a nice zip (I use white rhum and Cointreau; don’t like salt).
Enjoy your vacation!

That looks remarkably like my own home-grown margarita recipe (inspired by a brilliant friend’s example, of course). Since my first margarita party, which demolished about 4L of tequila in 4 short hours, I’ve learned to paste a sign on the pitcher that reads “Warning: These Margaritas? They’re Stronger than You.”

Hey Deb…just another recipe for a kick-ass margarita.

The Devil’s Margarita:
6 oz tequila
6 oz frozen lime-aid
6 oz any amber/light beer
fill up the blender with ice, wizz away and enjoy with a chip or two covered in salsa or guac. YUM! The beer tends to take the “ick” out of the tequila.

Deb, thank you so much. You have laid a fear of mine to rest. You see, most of the adults (don’t take offense to the adult thing, I’m one too, I guess) I know don’t ever get drunk or have funny drunk/drinking stories. Even my 28-year old married sister doesn’t (she’s the good one). So I was kind of scared that when I got to a certain age I’d never get drunk again either. However, now I know that’s not true. :)

The margaritas look great; everyone at work tonight was buying limes for their tequila too. I’m very jealous about your vacation, I wish I could go to Mexico. Have a lot of fun and bring back tons of pictures!
