What is the Best Margarita Recipe?

Posted on Monday 28 July 2008

We can tell you what our recipe for the best margarita is, but then we will have to kill you. Over the last year or so, we have posted many drink recipes, but none so popular as the margarita recipes. Now, what we neglected to mention or include, is the frozen margarita. Although the drink recipes stay the same, the difference of course is the crushed ice.

Now what do you need exactly to make the perfect FROZEN margarita?? The perfect blender.

You cannot use just any type of blenders. Either the ice is crushed so much that it is practically liquefied, or not enough and the result is a chunky monkey margarita…. hmmm, nice drink name.

The blenders are what provide the perfect texture for the frozen margarita. After some research, we have found that a blender that will provide you with the consistency needed will be in the price range of $20 - $98. Broad range, we know, but we consider different budgets without losing much quality.

The one we found best was the Hamilton Beach 50754 WaveStation 10 Speed and at a reasonable of price of just $35.

A good comparison site to view the list of the top blenders for margaritas can be found here ->.

Hope this was informative…. keep tending!

Great Bar Accessories - Buying Jelly Beans in Bulk

Posted on Wednesday 9 July 2008

Most homeowners have a bar setup and usually have the typical nuts or pretzels in a bowl to offer their guests. Last month as we visited a friend, we noticed a bowl of jelly beans…. hmmm! They were addicting, especially went well with the margaritas served.

I wasn’t sure if my hangover the next day was due to the alcohol or the sugar.

I asked where it was purchased from and the homeowner mentioned he bought in bulk online.

After some search I had to share a great online store, Oh Nuts!. Their bulk jelly beans prices has been the best I have found till date.

We wanted to share this, as this idea can be a great compliment to your bar. Or, you may even purchase bulk jelly beans and include it in your gift giving baskets.

Some ideas may even include packaging it together with a margarita mix and a bottle of tequila. the sour of the salt and lime in a margarita coupled with the sweetness of a Baja-Margarita Jelly bean, mmmmm. Give it a try, it’s just an idea we had here.
