Happy Hour

Hi Friends, It's a Fabulous Friday and we are about to take this Friday to a Friyay! Anybody else countdown the week till Fridays. It seems as if we all try and stay in line with eating and exercising during the week but when Friday hits...its like all bets are off. It's time to celebrate and let loose! We all work hard and deserve a little fun. Apparently most of Americans have hit record-high levels of stress and anxiety in this world of hustle and bustle! We must set our boundaries and be productive but stop and live in the moment and enjoy life. It's a happy balance. It's ok to say no!  We must dive into a fabulous Friday and weekend with excitement and preparation! Margarita's anyone? It is the big Cinco de Mayo this weekend! A good Margarita with some Chips and Salsa and we are in business. You can keep it simple and make some fantastic Margaritas by your pool or hit your local favorite Mexican Hot Spot and dive into the best! So, I have a weakness for Nacho's and a great Margarita! Ok, and Guac too! Who doesn't get excited for a good Mexican Night.  One of our favorite places to hit with friends is Rocco's Taco's. This place is legit! So darn good y'all! It's worth the spurge! It has a Menu of drinks and Food that will leave you with big smiles. Rocco's Taco's is local for my Tampa Friends. There are several locations all over Florida and even one in New York. The atmosphere is nothing short of a good time and the drinks and food do not disappoint. Let's get to the good stuff...the Margarita's. My favorite is a Classic Skinny Margarita....and  only skinny because I prefer Fresh Squeezed Lime and Real Aqua Nectar. I am not a  fan of all the fake mixes and ingredients that make it too sticky sweet and you know your up for a yucky hangover! I think a good Margarita is more tart than sweet. A good Premium Tequila is most necessary as well as all  Fresh Ingredients and never ever use a mix. Ever. It can be exciting and fun to get  infused Tequilas or yummy flavorful twists, but for me a good classic skinny margarita with few real  fresh ingredients and of course a salted rim is my best. BEST SKINNY MARGARITAS INGREDIENTS: 2 oz Silver tequila 2 oz Fresh squeezed lime juice 1.5 oz Cointreau 1 oz light agave nectar or simple syrup (to taste) Ice Coarse Sea Salt Lime Wedges Add all the tequila, lime juice, Cointreau and agave nectar or simple syrup to a shaker filled  with ice. Shake vigorously and strain into ice-filled glasses. Check out these glasses for Margaritas. And these too. Have a Fabulous Friday! May your Margaritas overflow with pure awesomeness! Have a great Happy Hour! Cheers!
