Day Drinkin'

Cheers!

(Scroll down to "The Playlist" and hit play before reading... works better that way!)

You can't drink all day unless you start first thing in the morning... 

at least that's what they say!

So here's to just hanging out... whether your at the beach, the ballpark, strolling around sightseeing or just sitting around listening to a little music with your friends. 

Today we've whipped up a little rum and tequila concoction called a "Tropical Fishbowl Margarita"... What? Yes kids, a fishbowl full of margaritas. 

Now you need something to chomp on, so how about cooking up some "Drunken shrimp tacos"? Then we can crank up a little "Day-Drinkin'" music... Sounds good to me! 

Hey bartender... another round!

The pots are on!  

The Plate... 

Drunken Shrimp Tacos

Easy, quick and tasty... that's what you want when you're just hangin' out. 

And, if you really want to make this easy you can just grill the shrimp, pour em' on a platter and cover them with some Queso Fresco, Oaxaca or whatever cheese you like and serve with some chips. Voila!... Camarones con Queso!

What you need...

32 medium shrimp
2 oz white tequila
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp cayenne pepper
2 cloves of garlic minced
1 lime juiced, plus a couple of wedges for garnish
Canola oil
Kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper
1/4 cup cilantro
1/4 cup red cabbage
1/2 cup of quest fresco or jack cheese

Easy spicy mayonnaise-
1 cup mayonnaise 
1/2 cup Mexican crema (or sour cream)
2 tsp lime juice
1 tsp light agave syrup
1 chipotle pepper, minced plus 1 tbsp of the adobo sauce sauce
Kosher salt

 What you do...

Make a marinade by combining the tequila, cumin, paprika, cayenne, garlic, lime juice and a little canola oil in a large bowl. 

Add the shrimp and toss well to coat. Then sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Skewer the shrimp to prepare for the grill. 

Heat your grill to medium. Cook shrimp until pink. This will not take long. 

Remove the shrimp from the grill and place on a large platter. 

Add the shredded cheese, cilantro and lime juice over the top of the shrimp.

Combine the mayo, Mexican crema, lime juice, agave chipotle and adobo sauce to make the spicy Mayo.

Place large tortillas in a large nonstick sate pan or a flat grill sprayed with cooking oil. 

Warm for about 30 seconds on both sides.

To assemble place the shrimp inside a folded tortilla, top with spicy Mayo, cilantro and red cabbage.

Arriba! 

The Playlist...

Day Drinkin'

Well we've put together a collection of little dittys to sing along to. There seems to be a theme here. 

Some are cool, some are a little raunchy and some just plain ole fun. 

If you're headed to the beach then you have to have the Brothers Osborne's "Rum" on your playlist. If you're hanging out at the bar then Reckless Kelly or Blackberry Smoke seem about right. 

And, if you're just hanging out with friends... well it just doesn't matter. You're with friends so crank it up. 

Cheers!

The Bar... 

Tropical Fishbowl Margarita

Saw this on the "Tipsy Bartender". Love that guy. He makes a party out of just mixing a drink. Cool idea and what better concoction to enjoy with friends while you're "Day Drinkin'"!

What you need... 

6oz tequila
3oz coconut rum
2oz Triple Sec
2oz Peach Schnapps
1oz Lime Juice
6oz Pineapple Juice
1 Bottle of orange juice
Orange Slices
Lime Slices
Strawberries
24oz Corona beer bottle

What you do...

Take a large fish bowl and add about a quarter full of ice.
Place orange and lime slices along the side, wedged into the ice so they stand up on the side.
Now add the strawberry slices.
Pour in the tequila, rum, triple sec and Peach Schnapps.
Then pour in the orange juice followed by the Pineapple juice.
Last, placing your thumb over the top of the beer, place the open bottle upside down in the bowl.
Add straws and crank up the music.

As the Tipsy Bartender" says- "Put your lips on that!"

Well...

Alrighty Then!

Please... Day Drink Responsibly 

& 

Keep On Cookin'!
