My nefarious margaritas

OK, this is pretty kick ass: [livejournal.com profile] arian1 shared my margarita recipe with a bar in his...charming little town...and the recipe went over so well they might start using it there! Not being one to keep my recipes secret (I think that's silly and a bit egotistical), I'm taking it as a huge compliment. Woo!!! I'm hoping they at least give it a good sexy name. I think to celebrate the occasion we need one last margarita blowout before the weather gets too cold. Whatchy'all think?

Wow, that is pretty dern nifty! Mmmm, to adult beverages on a night when we don't have to get up early!

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2004-09-28 12:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, no matter what, I'll have to get up early. Bleh! I'll think about possible dates, though. And possible locations since the house is currently in shambles.

[identity profile] radcliffe.livejournal.com 2004-09-28 12:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Well my schedule is currently faire and work crazied. But, when that is over, my schedule is open. I will happily offer my place for a small gathering. :>

That means everyone else will have to drink an extra one for you!

So are you going to post said reciepe, or no?

I loves me a good margarita

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2004-09-28 12:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! Sure! Hadn't thought about it, actually. Here you go: (Didn't I ever make these for you?)

Lydia's Margaritas
1 can limeade
1/2 can tequila
1/2 can triple sec
1/2 to full can of light colored beer

Fill blender with ice. Pour in can of frozen limeade. Use same can to measure remaining ingredients. Whirr Whirr Whirr and serve!

I'll be sure to announce it here!

ooh yah.
well, I do know of a place that has seating for at least a dozen, and that's just out on the deck ;)

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2004-09-28 12:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, very true! Yes, that would be fantastic!

[identity profile] mckitterick.livejournal.com 2004-09-28 12:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Yum, count me in! I think the bar version should have part of your name as part of its name. (Had to cut my comment; used yer action name...)

"actual"

Heh, I like that typo. I need a nap.

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2004-09-28 12:58 pm (UTC)(link)
That's ok...it's been bandied about here a couple times now and I've gotten less paranoid about it. =)

[identity profile] stuology.livejournal.com 2004-09-28 02:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I want an action name!

[identity profile] mckitterick.livejournal.com 2004-09-28 02:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[livejournal.com profile] chernobylred suggests that we use this as a term for "live-action" name. I like it! But it needs to be better than my actual name....

oooo, sounds good to me.

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/kai_/ 2004-09-28 01:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmmm, I wonder if that recipe would work just as well for daquiris? (Tequila is a no-go for me.)

But it certainly is impressive that your recipe is so well-received. Now... on to fame for you!

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2004-09-28 01:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Daquiris are trickier since I don't know that anyone makes a frozen strawberry juice...

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/kai_/ 2004-09-28 01:51 pm (UTC)(link)
A Daquiri can be made with any fruit juice... technically it is simply a rum sour. Just as a margarita is technically a tequila sour.

The traditional daquiri is made with limes. Not a strawberry in sight.

Gee, that $500 bartending course really did pay off!

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2004-09-28 01:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, then, I'd say go for it! Just sub rum for the tequila. Heck, I'd even leave in the triple sec.

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/kai_/ 2004-09-28 02:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, baby. If a person is feeling particularly expensive... go all the way, sub the Triple Sec with Cointreau or Grand Marnier. Yummmmmmmmm.

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2004-09-28 02:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. Wow. Great, now my mind is really wandering!

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/kai_/ 2004-09-28 02:26 pm (UTC)(link)
*chortle*
Any time you want, I'll be happy to sit down with you and discuss drink recipes. I have a bit of a flair for them myself.

[identity profile] redheadfae.livejournal.com 2004-09-28 02:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Grand Marnier.... ohhhhhhh, I love that stuff.

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/kai_/ 2004-09-29 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
Very tasty, yes.
I'm a big fan of Chambord myself... Razzzzzzzzberries!

PUT THE LIME IN THE COCONUT, AND DRINK THEM BOTH TOGETHER!!!!!!
(that's code for I'm in...and Emily. we're not dating.)

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2004-09-28 01:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yes, you know all the brothel girls are invited!!! BTW, send me your email! I don't have yours or Emily's...

[identity profile] grnvixen.livejournal.com 2004-09-28 01:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmmmmm, Sounds Tasty! To bad we can't get a blender out to faire. Hmmmm, if the night of the cast party is not to cool............

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2004-09-28 01:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Alas, unless people are willing to chip in, I can't afford to libate that many folks! My margaritas are good...and pricey. ;)

[identity profile] angelbedwell.livejournal.com 2004-09-28 01:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmm...brisket and margaritas....now there's a combo ;)

oooooohhhh, sounds good! Once again, makes me wish we were closer!

*pout*

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2004-09-28 01:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Feel free to try it at home now that you have the ingredients!

[identity profile] rowangolightly.livejournal.com 2004-09-28 02:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll put it in my recipe book. Bruce isn't a drinker and I don't drink alone (or not often anyway!)

Thanks!

Oh, I do like the idea of them for peformer's party if it's warm enough!

How about "Puta's" since she's the Spaniard?

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2004-09-28 02:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh, I don't think anyone would want to order that...I know I wouldn't! LOL!

[identity profile] redheadfae.livejournal.com 2004-09-28 02:38 pm (UTC)(link)
it's not very ... romantic or exotic, is it?
hmm....
How about a play on Grande Horizontales?
