Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone!

[NuclearNed]

I don't dispute your assertion, I merely ask if you are stating it as matter-of-fact or in the form of a complaint?

This is in no way a complaint. Actually, there are no bad reasons to drink cheap tequila, and lots of good ones.

Everyone have a margarita today! A real one not a pussy mix one.

- 40ml (1.3 fl oz) Tequila
- 20ml (0.6 fl oz) Cointreau
- 10ml (0.3 fl oz) Lime juice

I'm surprised nobody posted Happy Star Wars Day yesterday :hmm:

 

[JulesMaximus]

Why do people complain about an excuse to drink? You think Friday and Saturday night are enough socially acceptable drinking nights in a year?

New Years Eve
New Year's Day
Super Bowl
St Paddys Day
4th of July (who doesnt like drinking and playing with fireworks?)
Cinco De Mayo
Birthday
Xmas
Mother's Day
MLK Day

:thumbsup:

Amateur Night. Enjoy your crowded, overpriced bars and police checkpoints. I'll have a few micro brews in my man-cave for a fraction of the cost...

you can use grand marnier instead of the cointreau

Amature hour.. just like St. Patty's day, celebrated by people who don't even know the significance of what they're celebrating and perpetuated by liquor companies.

No one in Mexico celebrates this.. it's basically an excuse for white people to drink sub-par tequila and eat tex-mex food.

And so what if it is?

Remember, please dont waste top shelf tequila in a margarita.

What do you consider top shelf? I don't even drink tequila if its 'mixto' and not 100% agave

Anything over $7/shot

Yes, I pulled that number out of my ass. But that seems to be the cutoff around here between well Tequila and something I would actually drink straight.

Doesn't that have brandy in it? Thought purest margaritas only used cointreau.

Well tequila isn't even tequila. It is some cheap corn based fermentation with like 10% agave and food coloring. I do not drink that shit . Also it depends on if you are making the marg with silver, reposado or anejo. I agree you probably wouldn't appreciate an expensive silver in a marg but reposad0 or anejo can definitely change the character of the drink quite a bit.

true cognac with bitter orange. it goes well trust me.

Well, I'm glad we could get past our petty differences over whether Cinco De Mayo counts for anything, so that we could move on to our even pettier squabbing over what the ingredients of a true margarita are, and what kind of tequila is acceptable - both at the low and high end.

How is that for a run-on sentence?

Better than talking about bin ladin again ... speaking of I wonder what kind of margarita he would like.
