I’m throwing a big summer party — can you give me a good margarita recipe?

Dear Cha-cha,
You’ll need 1 pair of sunglasses, 1 to 2 prairie skirts, 3 tank tops, 1 large cardigan, and 1 airline ticket to Guanajuato Mexico. Combine the first four ingredients in a carry-on bag, and arrive at the airport in time to slip off your espadrilles at security check. Allow the ingredients to steep during the five-hour plane ride. Crush 1 pair of sunglasses waiting to go through customs. Chill for two hours on the air-conditioned bus heading southeast toward San Miguel de Allende. Shake well on the cobblestone Ancha de San Antonio. Spill out into the intersection of Zacateros and Umaran. Dilute combination by peeling away 1 cardigan and tying it around your waist. Pour into the adjacent Villa Jacaranda’s outdoor café. Pepper the Abuelita with compliments and she’ll seat you at a mesa with a striped canvas umbrella.
Their Margaritas are copious and pair perfectly with Brochetas de Pollo.

May 30, 2007 at 10:03 amFor me, make that two pairs of sunglasses… and they must be the over-priced kind. Then I can break one pair (as noted in the above recipe), then I add the second pair after the main ingredients have been mixed together so my drunk ass can lose them off the side of a boat.

May 30, 2007 at 1:02 pmBossy, I get the hint. Enough already. You e-mail me and I’ll tell you which airport to fly into, then we’ll load you in the car (you can sit up front with me) and get you down to Mexico where the fresh lime-infused margaritas are waiting for you at your house on the beach. You know you want to.

Where is she throwing it and how heavy is it? Are the drink recipes for after she breaks her back?

I was just thinking, the other day, about how I’ve never had a margarita before.

May 30, 2007 at 8:53 pmYou would have to drink a lot of margaritas before I looked good in one of those tank tops.
