As some know, I am part-owner and operate some Mexican-themed restaurants in the midwest and while we have wonderful frozen margaritas, (and sell a hell of a lot of them), we also offer fabulous made from scratch margs we call Arriba Margaritas. They're made to order with fresh lime juice, simple sugar, Cointreau or Grand Marinier and your favorite premium tequila. Guests choose from a list of 25 tequilas including personal favorites such as Patron, Cabo Wabo, and Paradiso. Over the course of 2008, I'll be introducing made from scratch, premium tropical drinks at our restaurants, including the Mai Tai and Zombie. IT'S GONNA BE A GREAT YEAR! A bit on-topic: I picked up the Breville blender over the week-end. Really great on ice and everything I've thrown in it so far. Got so much to learn. (Looks and acts more refined than the commercial blenders IMO) Haven't picked up a Hamilton top mixer, but I'll get one of those too.
