Now, although I am usually anti-pink drinks just on principle, I really like this stuff, have a case of it in the pantry: http://www.arizonasauces.com/CocktailMixes.html Made according to the recipe (a drop of the mix, a touch of water, and great gobs of tequila, triple sec and ice), it will kick your boo-tay. Gotta love those Arizona folks, they don't mess around. Arla

I could really get into these. I love anything Arizona. Are they super sweet? Super sweet and booze doesn't work for me, but they sound great.

Lookin' back at my background, tryin' to figure out how I ever got here...

I have some prickly pear syrup that I just picked up a few weeks ago in Tucson. Suppose to be really good on pancakes, although I had it in lemonade. I would bet it would taste great to just add to regular margarita mix too. I'm going to have to try that. Zoomy I would assume it would be a little more on the sweet side, but still have that sour kick of a margarita.

Not too sweet at all! I usually make regular margaritas with only lemon juice (or Mexican lime if I can get 'em), triple sec, and tequila - so I'm definitely not into sticky sweet drinks. The recipe on the label calls for triple sec, so you could make the drink less sweet by reducing/omitting triple sec. My mint patch is out of control, looks like mojitos are on tap for the weekend!

My MIL has a boatload of mint that grows down on the beach in front of her vacation cottage. We make mojitos in the Summer, too. Smile
