Margarita Fizz Recipe

Submitted by Dana on Sat, 2010-06-19 17:09

It's 90 degrees here in beautiful Bloomington, Indiana. And though that's cooler than predicted, plus we're not getting quite the killer humidity we were expecting, it's definitely the sort of day for a long, cool drink. Over at ... Dana Carpender's Hold the Toast Facebook page, the talk had turned to summer libations, and I had to come here and post this recipe:

Margarita Fizz

1 shot tequila
1 shot lime juice
1-2 teaspoons granular Splenda, or the equivalent in the liquid stuff
8 ounces orange sparkling water, chilled

Mix the first three ingredients in a tall glass, and fill with ice. Pour in the sparkling water, and enjoy.

Things You May Not Know About Me: I love tequila. Easily my favorite liquor. Favor Sauza Gold, not Cuervo; the Sauza's much smoother.

That said, I'm still not drinking today. Damn it. Not till I'm back down to where I was a week ago.

Try the Sueza Comemarativo . It's better than the Gold. In Mexico, Sueza is very inexpensive as well as very good. I still like my Margarita on the rocks. That's what I get for living on the Mexican border for several years.

It's not expensive here -- I often see it for less than Cuervo.

I often think the reason so many people are sure they don't like tequila is that they've only had Cuervo. The stuff is very harsh. Fit only for mixing.
