Aw damn, I used to know what that drink’s called! I guess I had too many and that brain cell got destroyed...

I love margaritas.

I have long since retired from my drinking career, but I never stood the attraction of fru fru drinks like the margarita. I generally enjoyed a good single malt in the fall and winter, and a nice dry gin martini in the spring and summer.

Occasionally I would get semi-exotic; if you're in a place that puts the little onions in your martini instead of olives, you're probably south of the Mason-Dixon line and the martinis will suck, so you order a whisky sour. If it's cold outside and you can't access a good single malt, Jack Daniels and apple cider will warm you right up.

The two 'girliest' drinks I would ever admit any affinity for whatsoever were particularly pleasant for very hot days at the beach and they were simply Malibu rum and pineapple juice (tastes like suntan lotion smells) or Blueberry Schnapps in lemonade (don't knock it 'til you've tried it.)

According to legend, the margarita was invented at Hussongs Cantina in Baja California near Ensendada. The margaritas there are nothing like margaritas here. In Mexico there has no ice or slush in it. It is more like a tequila martini. It is tequila with a little triple sec and lime juice, served in a martini glass. P.S. don’t drink anything with ice in it when you are in Mexico.

I managed to pull off a military parachute jump while very drunk off of Margaritas, I firmly decided that drinking and parachuting don’t mix, at least not at low altitudes where everything takes place in short seconds.

As I’ve aged I like fewer and fewer mixed drinks. Just give me top shelf booze over ice.

the margarita is the top-selling cocktail in the United States

Mexican poison....no thanks. Kentucky bourbon is American and far superior.

Sometimes, on special occasions, I'll even use a glass.

My take:

1 oz. Hornitos Reposado
1 1/2 oz. DeKuyper Peachtree Schnapps
2 oz. sweet & sour mix
Handful of cracked ice

Yup.
