Margaritas: Out the can onto the rocks

-

I don't know a thing about good margaritas. What I do know is, I will drink anything margarita flavored.

I must confess something. I don't know what's in a good margarita. Is there such a thing? Who determines what's good? Is that why there's a top shelf? I don't know. What I do know is I ain't paying $8+ for a drink. I would change my mind if the bartender mixing my margarita plans on holding the tequila bottle upside down for more than a count of 4. 

Going the cheaper route is how I am enjoying a margarita. Come on now, you know me. Cheap is my only route.

Cans 

Here's another confession, I had an obsession with Bud Light Lime-A-Ritas. Before you turn your nose away and leave a comment about how I don't know a thing about good drinks, remember, I admitted my lack of knowledge. 

21 year old me would enjoy two cans of Lime-A-Ritas poured over ice. Bud Light suggests you enjoy your cocktail over ice; I suggest it as well. Don't knock it till you try it. Lime-A-Ritas chilled are crisp and refreshing. Red's Wicked Ale is bitter compared to a Lime-a-Rita. I like Red's, but I have to admit that it is easier knocking back Lime-a-Ritas. It all depends on my mood when it comes to picking either or.

Still not convinced on giving one a try? Don't take only my word for it, but countless other poor bastards that have settled for less.



Consider this, as of this writing Bud Light has 11 flavors of their margarita in a can. Did I mention the 8% ABV? If people weren't enjoying these faux-cocktails, then this line of fruity drinks wouldn't exist. At the end of the day, it's still malt liquor with some fruit flavoring added. Compared to the real drink it's impersonating, you still are going get a decent buzz at an affordable price.

So far, I have had 4/11 of the drinks. Each flavor is distinct and tastes like what it advertises on the can. The problem with canned fruit-flavored malt liquors is the syrup. Have you ever had a soda with large amounts of syrup? From my experience, Natty Rush is notorious for having a sugary syrup aftertaste. 

If a can sits long enough, I am assuming the flavoring collects at the bottom causing a weird aftertaste. I can't say a Lime-A-Rita has ever caused a sugary coating in my mouth leaving a weird aftertaste.

Clubtails

My love for Clubtails is known. I prefer the Screwdriver the most but give the margarita a try. 

Frozen or on the rocks?

When the off chance occurs that I have to choose between frozen or on the rocks (doesn't happen often), I choose on the rocks. On the rocks has more flavor. Let your frozen margarita thaw out and tell me it tastes the same. Your rocks might thaw as well, but the likelihood of you finishing your drink in a timely manner is more plausible than risking a brainfreeze from downing frozen margaritas. 

Maybe, just maybe, I should switch to Sensodyne so my sensitive teeth can handle the cold and I won't be so bitter.

Or not. 

Also, it sounds much cooler to say, "on the rocks."

Regardless

It doesn't matter how you enjoy your margarita. Mainly, because your suggestions will fall on deaf ears; being that, I don't have the money to make a good drink. 

Give me your recipes for the perfect margarita anyways. Someone else may benefit. As always...

Enjoy your drinks and game on.

Three Solo RPG Resources

Playing an RPG solo can be difficult. It doesn't have to be with these suggested resources. I admit that I do not get out as much as I should. It can be difficult some days to leave the house. Especially now that the weather here in Texas has just gotten bad. Not that weather influences my decisions anyway. I do not mind being introverted. Some say I am missing out and I agree to a certain point. I have played DnD 5 th edition online using the site https://roll20.net/ . There is something missing when you do not have that human interaction. I played groups with people all over the world. The problem is you do not know these people and sometimes the group does not always get along. It is easier to leave an online chat versus in person. Instead of meeting faceless people, I would rather play alone. Looks daunting at first. The people I do want to play with have no interest in roleplaying. I understand. Not everyone wants to. I am not always up for going out to game ...

How to make Brass Monkey (My Way for 2019)

I am going to tell you my 2019 recipe for making Brass Monkey. Super simple and you'll be asking why you never thought of it. Been a little while since I have posted. There's a good reason for my absence. It has something to do with this recipe. My new favorite drink. Cue the Beastie Boys. I'm talking Brass Monkey. How did I get to this point in life that the only way to numb the pain is with a 90s house party staple? Well, it all started with underage drinking. Statistically, if you were an underage drinker then you are more likely to become a heavy drinker as an adult. Or whatever. I swear I read that somewhere. I am going to tell you how I create this tangy, poor man's drink my way. First, let's get out the way on how to properly prepare Brass Monkey or specifically what it was and is now. Brass Monkey Original Recipe This may come as a shock, but the original recipe has nothing to do with a 40. In fact, the original Brass Monkey originates back to ...

Adrinkinhandgaming's Christmas Wish List 2019

Christmas is upon us once again and let me be the first to say, "this sucks." But Anthony how could you say such a thing? (If you follow me on Twitter, then you would know my name is Anthony and also you should follow me on Twitter .) Anyway, back to what I was saying about Christmas sucking. It doesn't suck unless you're like 10 and don't have to buy people's gifts. I'm terrible at buying gifts if they are not for me. This is who I am as a person and will not apologize for my flaws. The holidays give me anxiety because I never know what to get friends and family. Even if I figured out the perfect gift, I probably wouldn't have the money to buy it, anyway. So, I'll stick to what I know and that's what I want for Christmas. I have compiled a list of ideas for gamers, whether for yourself or someone else. Hopefully, we have similar tastes because if not you won't find this list useful. Regardless, read the list and maybe some...
