For the Margarita Making Challenged


This is all you need. I haven't decided if I'm going to devote a fair amount of space on the blog to endorsing products that don't necessarily add to "art"ie., papers, paints, etc. But I do think this could lubricate a bad case of artist's block so I think it qualifies, anyhow.
So without any further ado, dispense with your frou-frou margarita recipes, blenders and specialty ring container of salt. You get one of these On the Border frozen margarita mix thingies, throw in about 3/4 bottle of tequila, stick it in the freezer for about a day, pour some coarse kosher salt in a small flat bottomed bowl, run the rim of your glass around the slush in the bucket, salt it up reeeeal good, and fill 'er up.

If you follow the directions on the bucket and use an entire 24 oz. bottle of tequila, you may find yourself on your lips after only one drink. On the other hand, half a bottle just does not cut it. These are "a thousand times better" than just about any margarita out there, my friends. One notable exception: the margaritas at Aqui in Willow Glen, California. You can expect to hear more about Aqui over the lifetime of this blog. It is just my all time favorite place to eat (and imbibe margaritas).

So sayeth the Queen of Margaritas.
