And more. Just an assortment of plenty of stuff to nibble on that won't require being tied up in the kitchen cooking.

I am using Brazilian rum instead:

three parts silver tequila (made by the “bad hombres” of Mexico)

two parts cherry juice

pour over ice and top it with sparkling wine or sparkling limeade

This gets a wedge of lime. I’m too nasty to fuss with a twist.
