This past weekend I was in New York City and happened to
sample three very different versions of the tequila based beverage. The first
was consumed while enjoying a show at the Eastville Comedy Club (my first
comedy club experience!!!). I saw that they had a “jalapeno margarita” on the
menu and could not pass it up. It was delivered on the rocks and sans salt. The
flavor was absolutely perfect; sweet, without being sickeningly so – with a
slight kick from the juice of the jalapeno which is one of my favorite flavors.
It was a perfect cocktail and went down easily. Unfortunately, due to the bad
lighting, I was unable to snap a picture of this masterpiece.
The next day my friend and I were strolling along in the
East Village. The heat was starting to make us a bit loopy (anyone else know
the feeling??) and we decided that some “pick-me-ups” were absolutely
necessary. Once again, margaritas sounded like the perfect solution.
We stumbled across San Loco in the East Village. I ordered
the standard lime margarita, frozen with salt. It came served in a mason jar –
SO adorbs! I’m a sucker for anything in a jar. It was delicious, sour, sweet,
with the perfect underlying notes of that liquor I love to hate – tequila.

My friend ordered the cactus-pear margarita, on the rocks
with salt. We had NO idea what a cactus-pear could possibly taste like but
thought it sounded festive. The drink came out a bright pink color. My friend
described it as tangy, tart, and refreshing!

Needless to say, both were slurped down in a matter of
minutes.
What's your favorite cocktail in the summer?
