my favorite cocktail

so as a bartender I am often asked “what do you like to drink?”  my reply is usually “everything.”  except gin.  I hate the taste of pine needles.  unless it’s mixed with vodka, tequila, rum, and triple sec.  aka a long island iced tea. My favorite liquor is tequila.  I like to mix it with rockstar® recovery lemonade flavor. What? Yes, rockstar® the energy drink.  I mean why should redbull® have all the fun?  It’s so much better tasting than redbull® and vodka which is still a semi popular drink around this redneck shithole area I live in.  It’s the perfect caffeine and liquor buzz.  and very mild tasting. The tequila gives the lemonade an extra little kick that is reminiscent of a margarita.  and yes you can just use lemonade but I like the caffeine and b-vitamins in the rockstar® recovery.  They also make an orange flavor that is quite tasty too.

another way I drink my tequila is with water and mio on ice.  Mio is the liquid water enhancer that has zero calories.  I’m partial to the black cherry flavor or the cherry/blackberry flavor. There are so many different flavor combinations the possibilities are endless.  Mixing mio and vodka is a popular way to have a cocktail while watching your calories.  I’ll mix vodka and mio sometimes but as i’ve said before and you will here me say a million times- tequila is my favorite.  While vacationing in mexico last year I took a bottle of mio and just asked for tequila and water on ice and the bartenders at our resort thought we were nuts but were very intrigued when I pulled out the cherry mio bottle and mixed up my own drink.
