I have been working on this recipe for years…..really. There has been a lot of testing and discussion and each time we perfected it, well you guessed it, no one wrote it down! This weekend we did and I am happy to share it with you:
1 cup tequila
1/2 cup Triple Sec
1/2 cup Mott’s Margarita pre-mix with Agave
1/2 cup Realemon
1/2 cup water
I mix it together in a 1 litre wine carafe with lots of ice and pour into salt-rimmed glasses and serve with a slice of lemon or lime.
Enjoy!!
A big shout out to the Shantina for this product recommendation, Golden Grill Hashbrowns. They are freeze-dried (don’t give up yet) so they don’t take up freezer space. Simply add boiling water, let sit 12 minutes and then pan fry. They are fabulous and taste the same as frozen. They are a blend of hearty shreds and specially combined seasoned potatoes that can be served in loose shred or patty format. They have a faster grill time and higher yield. No artificial colours or flavour. The carton says it serves 7 but it really serves 4 – all that fresh air works up an appetite! I found them at Costco and online.

In my quest to find the best ice cubes for my boating beverages, I set up a little experiment and used a time lapse camera to capture the whole thing on video. I chose 4 different types, restaurant cubes, home-made cubes from a tray, giant ice balls and, of course, diamond shaped cubes. Check out the video…

I set out to discover which ice cube would last the longest in my glass. I chose 4 different types, restaurant cubes, home-made cubes from a tray, giant ice balls and, of course, diamond shaped cubes. I tried this experiment last year but, in true Missy fashion, I got to talking and when I turned around all the cubes were melted. Continue reading
I have been looking for a light, refreshing cocktail for “in between” lunch and happy hour and I think I have found a great solution. Casal Domingo is a non-alcoholic, wine-based cooler (0.5% alc./vol.) that has 110 calories per bottle. Their website, which needs works, www.casaldomingo.com states that it comes in 8 flavours but I have only been able to find the Mix Pak which contains 3 flavours, Peach Fantasy, Wild Harvest Berry and Tropical Splash. A box of 12 is available at Superstore in the beverage aisle with the “near beer” and retails for $16.
Always the optimist, I decided that the slow start to the summer this year would give me plenty of time to search the aisles of my favourite grocery stores to come up with some new snacks and beverages. I am happy to report that I think I have hit this one out of the park. I don’t have a name for it yet but have enjoyed quite a few. As I write this I am anchored in Bedwell Bay (the one in Indian Arm not the one with the great spa) and I have decided I should write down the ingredients pronto. Continue reading
