Just as I was closing the door with a pout, my eye fell on the bright yellow lemonade* container. 'oh this has potential' I thought. I peered over to the liquor cabinet (and by cabinet I mean over on the counter where all the bottles of booze are) and I struck gold!!!! well, silver, actually. Silver tequila.
The heat temporarily forgotten, I grab the lemonade and the tequila, and start looking for the blender to make margaritas. Insert sad trombone noise here as I was apparently too lazy this morning to wash the blender. That's ok, I’m making Fast and Loose Margaritas!!
I pull out my favourite pint glass (the ones that we get from the Mill St Brew Pub.. I’m sure Nick's blogged about it once or twice), add two ounces of silver tequila, fill with ice cubes..... and this is where I face palmed because I forgot to rim the glass!!!
That's ok, because I figure the judges from Cocktail are probably not watching me right now, so I won't lose points (unless the cat is secretly judging me.) So I just sprinkled some Hibiscus salt right in the glass. I'm sure you can use regular salt, I was just feeling extra fancy. And I have, like, 18 different kinds of salt. (but that's another blog post.)
So, yea, that's the throw together instructions for a Fast and Loose Margarita. I'm sure you could have figured it out yourself, but it was so tasty and so not labour intensive, I’d thought I’d share it with the group.

On a completely different tangent, have you ever actually thought of the word 'lemonade'? that's the weirdest word ever. lemon + aid ? how did that happen? I’m going to have to do some researchin'!
*googling sounds*
Oh. Thanks Wikipedia. That's a lot of not interesting at all. Thanks.
Many children start lemonade stands in Canadian and US neighborhoods to make money in the summer months. The concept has become iconic of youthful summertime Americana to the degree that many parodies and variations on the concept exist in a wide variety of media. The computer game Lemonade Stand, created in 1979, simulates this business by letting players make various decisions surrounding a virtual stand. Some unlicensed lemonade stands have run afoul of health regulations.[
Although, I wonder what kind of health regulations were broken? Knowing kids, that could be really gross.
