could have gone for another but i wasn't buying.

i would mix cheap tequila with limeade or a bit of oj. if i used oj, i'd put a bit of grenadine in there.

because only the tequila is real, mixed with sweetened lime juice, triple sec syrup, and margarita mix. Even my margarita glass is fake -- it's plastic!

I even have a small lime tree that I have to bring in the house in winter. I had a few mojitos last month but didn't get many fruits this year. grasshoppers attacked before I brought it in last fall. I have a selection of mint growing in an old wash tub as well so it's fun to build a drink with homegrown ingredients.

That kind of sounds good, I wonder if I have any store bought limes left in the fridge - they are a shopping staple along with bread, milk, el pato, etc

pretty sure I have a shot of rum left, soda, and the mint...
