Margaritas made simple

Many apologies to those who ventured over to my new and free spot on the innerwebs hoping to find flashy banner ads, free giveaways and material worth reading. Worry not kind reader because as soon as my schedule opens up and I am allotted more time to blog, I will happily do so. As far as the free giveaways, don't hold your breath. Anyone is welcome to venture through my trash though.

I also offer sincere apologies to those who came looking to find nekkid photos of yours truly. For that, you'll simply have to check out my pay site at www.brad-pitt-only-wishes-he-could-look-like-this.com.

Just kidding. I don't really have a pay site, and if I did, I don't know that it would generate much money. Alas.

How about I just share with you a simple margarita recipe that I'm using today to serve to guests? Sound good? Okay, here goes:

1 750 ml bottle of tequila (how much you spend here depends on how much you like the guests)
1 1/2 cups bottled lime juice such as Angostura or Rose's
2 cups triple sec or Cointreau
1 cup of water
several dashes of bitters, some simple syrup and fresh squeezed lime juice to taste

If you didn't figure it out yet this makes a pitcher of boozy goodness, a little heavy on the booze. LaineyB had the brilliant idea of blending together some sugar, lime zest and Kosher salt (our Hasidic Mexican friends love this!) to use to coat the rims of our glasses. Isn't she something else?

I'll let you know how these go over.

MMMM. Margueritas. And kosher, yet! You and the Lainey are such gracious hosts.

As the first commentor here, I elect myself blogspot Welcome Wagon representative.

Ironically, I have in my little housewarming basket some limes, bitters, and a lovely fishbowl (which could be used as a marguerita glasss in a pinch).

Welcome to the neighborhood, darling. Drinks at 6.
