tequila

Tequila is one of those drinks I would never think of having by itself. I would never say to myself "I'm in the mood for tequila" and order a drink specifically because it has tequila in it. It just sort of happens that a drink I might like also has tequila in it.

However, tequila is not just for drinking. How about making some Caribbean Island Lime Shrimp, or Ribs with Fiery Mango Marinade, or maybe a Watercress Salad with Tequila Tangerine Dressing? Don't forget some classic drinks, including Long Island Iced Tea and a Tequila Sunrise. Maybe you can even rent the movie tonight and make the drink to celebrate.

Of course, you can't have a Tequila Day without a Margarita or two (or three). And since it's summer, here's a frozen one.

No really, who designates these days? How does Slashfood learn of them? Why doesn't Canada has National Tequila Day? Or Daiquiri Day? Or Pecan Pie Day? Or National ice cream month, and so forth?

I'll just sit here and enjoy my butter tart. It's like a mini pecan pie.

Bleh. I like liquor, but I think tequila tastes like gasoline...don't ask.
