Tequila makes her clothes fall off

The other half of this blog is clearly labeled 'drunken' therefore 'drunken posts' to add to the 'sysadmin' part, thus enabling 'the magic'.

I was going to start my technical post this morning, but alas... Last night I'm at the local grocery store. Due to a recent binge of Belgian beers, I'm faced with the tough decision: carlsberg or carlsberg 'elephant'. So I choose 'elephant'. Having no idea what I'm getting myself in to. This morning I wake up and realize the 'elephant' label most likely implies 'this beer is intended for elephants' or 'this beer will make you feel like a herd of elephants ran over you while you were sleeping. So, instead of making a nice technical post, I just kind of blindly stared at it this morning hoping it would post itself. That shit never happened.

So tonight my boy Jameson posted his beergaritas recipe, which I can attest to is money, even though it sounds like Slurpee barf. Inspired, I figured I'd post my $ margarita recipe.

- a container large enough to hold several cups of margarita mix
- one cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
(don't be a Wang and skimp on the freshly squeezed shit.)
- one cup freshly squeezed lime juice
(see Wang disclaimer above)
- some non-shitty tequila
- some grand marnier
- one 'unit' simple syrup (recipe follows after fucked up story of how NOT to macguyver simple syrup).

-- skip this if you suck.
-- one night Jameson is drunk and decides, since he doesn't have sugar in the house, that it's a good idea to substitute splenda for sugar in the simple syrup. The result: Radioactive liquid shitty cotton candy. DONT DO THIS.

- simple syrup
- add one cup 'real' sugar to one cup boiling water.
- let the mixture boil for like 7 minutes till it thickens slightly.
- combine lime juice, lemon juice, and real simple syrup.

- fill a shaker with ice, half tequila, half margarita mix above. Shake, pour, and splash GM in each drink.

I've found the result to be pretty money. As Jameson mentioned.. Have a happy and safe 4th.
