Last One

The last margarita is the Anejo Margarita. I'm not really sure why I didn't start this in the beginning along with similar recipes, nevertheless, we end on a very yummy margarita! I felt it only appropriate to share the last margarita with my family, who started this whole thing with my back on May 7th!

It was a good margarita, nice and sour! I think I've said all I can say about Margaritas over the past few months!

It's Labor Day

100 Recipes!
122 Days!
14 bottles of Tequila!
60 other friends and family!
Countless Dollars!
A few pounds!

It has been a fun summer to say the least. I can't believe it's all over. I have been able to spend some time with great family and friends enjoying (and not enjoying) these margarita recipes! I have successfully shared a margarita with 60 other people (yes, I counted) Some have guest blogged, and some have quietly enjoyed. As the last few weeks were closing in, everyone was asking me "which one is your favorite?" After careful consideration, I have narrowed it down to a top five!

5. Midori Margarita
4. Margarita Madras
3. Caribbean Margarita
2. Limoncello Margarita
1. Fuzzy Margarita

And just for the fun of it, my FIVE LEAST Favorite!

5. White Grape Margarita
4. Cognac Margarita
3. Disaronno Margarita
2. Bloody Rita
1. Aphrodisiac Margarita

I've been invited to parties to make and/or bring my recipes. I've been called the "Margarita Expert." (I've been called other names too, but those we won't repeat!) It has been a summer I will never forget. Thank you to all of my followers, and fellow drinkers. People have asked me what I'll be doing next summer. Another one of Kim's books? My little joke is "I'll be in AA next summer!"

Cheers for now!

99

I'm on number 99! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Probably only one more to go. I cannot get a Cherimoya on time. But, for tonight, I had the Cranberry Margarita. This one could go really well with a Thanksgiving dinner. I may just try that. It had tequila, triple sec, and cranberries with a splash of lemon juice. Put that in a blender, and it makes a very cool, tart cocktail. I would make another of of these for sure, but it's still not my favorite of the last 99. Sorry, cranberries!

I'm saving the last margarita for Labor Day! I'll also be celebrating by remaking some of my favorites with my family. Cheers until then!

Only ONE MORE TO GO!!!!

I've got the 'quat!

I FINALLY had a kumquat margarita. After all of the searching and googling kumquats, I attained kumquats at Cub. They're finally back in season. I had no idea what I was looking for, but my great friends helped me to find them! The kumquat is a very small orange-like thing. It's unbelievable to think that while my drinking challenge, I've learned so much. Haha!

It wasn't the greatest margarita, but I was so glad to finally do it.

98 margaritas down! 3 more to go!

I drank a long awaited margarita, the Rose Margarita, using the Patron that I infused with Pomegranate seeds. It was amazing!!! My friends, Keith, Mike, and I shared a shakerful of the Rose Margarita. Mixed with Grand Marnier, simple syrup, and lemon juice, it can only be described as heaven. It was a pink and sweet and got me just tipsy enough to go right to sleep.

Good Night!

Only 4 margaritas left!

Sunday Night

Number 96 was the Kentucky Margarita using Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey! Bring on the Jim Beam. I made some Bourbon Margaritas for a group of my favorite brewers at the backyard Oyster Throw-down. I also tried an oyster for the first time! Yikes!

Most people liked the margarita, even though it had a very different flavor.

Cheers until tomorrow!

Saturday Night

The 95^th margarita was the Cognac Margarita. It was described as “boozy,” yet given a 7 out of 10 of the experience drinker and master-brewer, Matt Hall. I yet again, bought the good stuff. I had Matt assist me in purchasing liquor for the next few margaritas. We bought some top shelf cognac and bourbon.

There's a picture of me shaking and checkin' out the courvoisier! I was able to share this recipe and share experiences of others with a bunch of great, new friends!

My friends are the best and are going to rockstar this thang!
