Ahem. Is someone forgetting the French cocktail Merman and I served you and Mr. Kitty? It seems to me that one bottle disappeared in a flash of light and it wasn't the drinkie gremlins that were responsible. (Not this time at least! )

Who can fault the Margarita? Here's my fav recipe from a great Mexican restaurant at Teloquepachi in Sedona, AZ:

1/2 cup Cuervo Gold or other good tequila
1/4 cup Grand Marnier
1 can frozen limeade
2 cups ice cubes
1 slightly beaten egg white

Throw all ingredients, except for the egg white, into a blender and spin until smooth and ice is crushed. Then add the egg white and hit the blend button for a few seconds. The egg white keeps the ice incorporated more smoothly in the blend and helps you avoid brain freeze.

Pour some tequila into a flat saucer and pour some coarse-grain salt into a second flat saucer. Dip the glass rims into the tequila and then the salt, before filling with nectar of the sun gods. Enjoy!

Serves one to four .

Keep it simple. Vodka, ice, water, and lemon juice in a cup big enough to last

Man, this sounds good. Wish I hadn't drunk most of that 1/5 of Jose' Premium by myself to the point now I can't even smell tequilla anymore without . Missing out on a good margarita!!!!

Summertime means you need a light and refreshing drink.
On a hot summer day after the beach, for me there is nothing better than a made-from-scratch Mojito. You can mess around with this recipe a bit, use baker's sugar, or sugar syrup, more lime juice, whatever.
It's easy and it's delicious.
Just don't use a mix (ugh.) Fresh limes, fresh mint. Ahh, rummy goodness.

Mojito
The National Drink of Cuba - Here's to you Fidel!
1 1/2oz. Light Rum
1 oz. Lime Juice
1 tsp. Sugar
3-4 Mint Leaves
Club Soda

Combine lime juice, mint and sugar in a Collins or highball glass.
Stir gently to bruise the mint.
Fill glass 3/4 with ice.
Add the rum.
Top with soda. Stir well.

[Kimmifunn]

NOOO
Kdwells!

[kathydwells]

NOOO
Kdwells!

I did that just for you kimmi.

[Bluznbeach]

There's nothng like a shot of chilled vodka, any decent (i.e, Russian, East European, or Scandinavian) brand, on a hot day, but Malibu & pineapple juice is good, too.

I HEART YOUR 'TAR!

[Jdarg]

I HEART YOUR 'TAR!

I love it too. Wish I had skills like that.

[Beach Runner]

What happened to the Napoleon Dynamite 'tar?

I have the computer skills, but not the artistic skills (or nunchuck skills, bowhunting skills, computer hacking skills, ...).

Actually, back to the thread, my husband and I developed a great margarita recipe last summer at the beach, but we drank so many that we don't remember the recipe.

[seagrover]

PINKS for me but not on the beach - saving those for the porch!!!

I'm interested - what are blue drinks?

And I haven't had a Mojito in a while - maybe I should go for it - great summer drink!!!
