Does a Margarita qualify as "food" for purposes of this forum?

Anyway, I was at the store yesterday and got the bright idea to try making my own Margaritas once in a while.

The ingredients so far:

Typically, the recipes also call for lime juice, I think. Does anyone have any better ideas?

One of my old work buddies had a special recipe, but he's now deceased and for the life of me I can't remember what it was.

Maybe sea salt and a pint glass.

I think it was something else.

I remember one time we went out to lunch at a fancy Mexican restaurant and he made a big deal about it and went so far as to teach the bartender exactly how to make it. Anyway, the guy was more or less a professional alcoholic, so I trust his judgment.

All liquor makes you stupid.

But tequila is very special. 🤪

So that explains what happened to you. Thank you for informing us.

That's the sheer genius of a "Margarita"

It's a total waste of money using good tequila in a Rita

The whole point of a Rita is to cover up the awful taste of Jose Cuervo.

Putting Chinaco Añejo in a Rita is stupid.

That's for sipping not for Ritas. 😄

Many different recipes for this.

I don't drink all the time. Sometimes, I don't drink anything for a few years or more. But when I do drink, I can't remember a time when I only had "one drink." I'm sure that would describe most people. Anyway, the cancer risk can't be very large.

Blue Zone people drink wine a lot, and they live longer on average than anyone on earth. I'll only drink wine, beer or tequila now. Only tasted a couple of Margaritas, but do like good tequila once in awhile. brought back a bottle of Cazadores tequila from Texas last year, so my girlfriend could try it. She wasn't impressed.

The Blue Zone. That's the source of a large portion of my genetics. And yes, those people knew how to drink wind and eat fantastic food.

I'm not a tequila aficionado. Maybe I should learn. The bottle of Patron I bought the other day in Thailand cost almost 2500 baht. I figured that's more than enough just for playing around making margaritas.

That's higher than the price in America for Patron Silver. Closer to Anejo prices. I've been trying to adopt a little more the Blue Zone diet, although I've been eating close to it all my life. More fish when we move back to America and added seeds and more nuts. I usually drink wine but like a couple of shots of good tequila once in awhile. Like the soft burn and taste.

For the Blue Zone, it's not just the diet, it's the whole lifestyle. Those people stay active. They're on the move all day. They have a purpose. The food is the easy part, if you make some effort.
