Seriously, if I were run down by a car and my last wish were a margarita without that crap sweet and sour in it, I would die a very unhappy woman. Lucky for me, I'm the kind of nuisance in a bar that would take a margarita BACK to the bar because I SAID NO SWEET AND SOUR DAMMIT, and WATCH as the bartender SQUEEZED fresh cut lime into my damn drink. And then, of course, I'd leave a big fat tip so he wouldn't spit. But only in Iowa. In New Mexico, sweet and sour in a margarita is equivalent to blasphemy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13927220117981048320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13503809.post-1149129680261304092006-05-31T21:41:00.000-05:002006-05-31T21:41:00.000-05:00Lucky for me, there's a restaurant around here tha...Lucky for me, there's a restaurant around here that makes real margaritas, no sodium-benzoate spiked sweet & sour in sight. <BR/><BR/>Oh, and the best part is that happy hour around here doesn't mean half-off drinks.
