You Are Now Ready for Cinco de Mayo: Relax Your Mind Margarita
April 24, 2016 12 Comments
You do not need a big blended frothy margarita to enjoy Cinco do Mayo.

You do need fresh limes. I say this because I went to a dive bar recently and ordered a margarita. My friend looked at me as if I was insane because she knew that I had high standards.
My standard is that the juice involved in the margarita must be fresh lime juice. Anything else (syrup from a bottle for example) tastes like crappy Hawaiian punch or something else undrinkable.
I pronounced the dive bar margarita “disgusting” and tried to get something else (I attempted to return a drink). The older female bartender assured me that I was not going to get anything since she served me what I had asked for.
My friend thought this was hilarious.
Make your own margarita with lime juice and you will NEVER buy a margarita in a dive bar again.

For the teenagers who read this site, Snack Girl advocates waiting until the legal drinking age to indulge in alcoholic beverages.
