I'm a cocktail drinker first and foremost. Pour me a great Cosmo or a Sidecar with a sugar rim and I'm a happy girl. Or mix me up a Mai Tai, Cadillac Margarita or Adios Mutha (Shut Yo Mouth) and we are friends for life. but when you want something quick and cold to enjoy with ribs, pizza or nachos, nothing beats a cold brewsky _if you like beer.
On a whim, I tried out a Limearita; a margarita/malt liquor hybrid that comes in beer cans. It's a step up from the old beer with a slice of lime or orange and a squirt of grenadine. Some kind of a way they have blended the flavors of a salt rimmed margarita with beer for the ultimate in microbrew madness. Thing is they are hard to find in singe serve and who wants to commit to a 12 pack of something you only want every now and then. Besides I'm not a salt rim type of sistah.
I started imaging how to take this taste sensation to the next level. And wala, Sandra Lee, queen of the cocktails, to the rescue. She recently featured this Lime Beer Cocktail on her show. I haven't tried it yet but when I do, I'm going to add a few shots of tequila and some orange slices. Sounds yummy? Let me know what you guys think of this recipe and the beer/maggie trend down below.
No longer a drinker but Ms. Maggie and Big Boy Brewsky's kid does sound interesting. I remember years ago drinking beer mixed with tequila. I think they were called Tequiza...at least that's what I kept saying to the bartender...
