Me neither. I'd probably just skip the chicken and drink the tequila. :~)

Um... make that a glass of wine (or three). Tequila is for cooking - yum 😉

IMO tequila is good for nothing. I had a sip of a tequila drink years & years ago. The stuff was horrid. Now have you ever heard of tin hat tequila? Back when DH & I were dating a bunch of us went out. The guys did tin hat tequila. What you do is lick your hand and sprinkle salt in it. Holding a piece of lemon in the other hand, you bend over backwards resting your head directly on the bar. The bar tending pours a shot of tequila. You immediately stand up to be crowned with a tin work hat, swallow the tequila then lick the salt & bite on the lemon *while* others in your group or anyone else that wants to join in hits the tin hat with sticks. IIRC the sticks were old drumbsticks kept behind the bar and freely given out to use by the bartender. Heavens the crazy things we did back then. Dang good thing we grew up!
We call that tequila shots here... <lol> It's standard for stupid college student parties...
but, you sprinkle salt on the side of your thumb. Lick that, bite the lemon, THEN slug the tequila shot! Done right it's actually pretty tasty. <lol>
I'll stick with the margaritas tho' thanks! I do love tequila... Next to cranberry vodka, it's my favorite tipple. -- Om.

Okay, since we're sharing margarita recipes..........
Two shots of tequila, one shot of triple sec added to LIME juice. Put

1/2 shot of orange juice in and blend. Layer Cointreau on the top.

Ooh! Margarita sunrise!!!!! :-)
Here is another. You note I DID say lime rather than lemon...
Follow the usual recipe, then top off with pure cranberry juice! It's the gods if you like [censored] drinks. --
Now that sounds spectacular! Wow. I *have* to try this! Hubby will LOVE it. Thanks!
kili
You are welcome! :-) Use a whole lime and at least a 12 oz. glass. It's delicious!
Cheers! <lol> -- Om.

Yep, you got the level of tequila below silver (if there is such a thing). Plus they screwed you, it would have been better with lime.

I've done this, using cranberry juice I made myself. The bottled stuff just doesn't work for me.
And how do you make cranberry juice? :-)
Dump a bunch of cranberries in a pot. Add a little water and some sugar. Heat until the berries pop. Strain. This yields a liquid with a much fuller cranberry flavor than what is generally marketed as cranberry juice. It's awesome in drinks. You can also use it in recipes calling for pomegranate juice, e.g., I've made fesenjan with it.

That sounds wonderful actually! And fresh cranberries are now available for the holiday season. :-)
Can I make it with Splenda instead of sugar??? -- Om.

I never have, but I don't see why you couldn't. The sugar is just there for sweetening, not for the berries to macerate in to release their juice. They'll pop and release their juice when heated regardless of whether the sugar is there or not.
