That’ll cure what ails anyone. https://www.golddrivers.com/Juniors/juniorpagesintraday.htm That plus: a well-executed massage a perfect margarita to numb the pain some libation folklore >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> [ libation folklore compliments of Wikipedia ] Who created the margarita? There are many stories about who invented the margarita and why. The following four are perhaps the most commonly repeated tales of the creator of the margarita cocktail. Danny Negrete, 1936 According to Salvador Negrete, the son of Daniel Negrete, the family story goes that Daniel opened a bar at the Garci Crispo hotel with his brother, David. The day before David's marriage, Daniel presented the margarita as a wedding present to Margarita, his sister-in-law. It was a combination of one-third Triple Sec, one-third tequila and one-third squeezed Mexican lime juice. The drink was not blended and was served with hand-crushed ice. Ratios: 1:1:1 = 6:6:6 (33% tequila, 33% Triple Sec, 33% fresh lime juice). Francisco "Pancho" Morales, 4th of July, 1942 In El Paso, Texas, a bartender, Pancho Morales invented the margarita on July 4, 1942, at a Juárez, Mexico bar named Tommy's Place. Supposedly, a woman requested a Magnolia (brandy, Cointreau, and an egg yolk topped with Champagne). Morales was a little fuzzy on the recipe; he improvised and his ersatz creation was a big hit. Carlos "Danny" Herrera, 1938 Carlos "Danny" Herrera mixed a jigger of white tequila with lemon juice and Triple Sec, creating a smooth and salty concoction he named "margarita", in October/November of 1938. The bar was Rancho La Gloria,midway on the old road that connected Tijuana with Rosarito Beach. A showgirl and sometime actress who called herself Marjorie King (she regularly played piano in and around San Diego at the Del Cornado Hotel and Del Mar, just to name a few) was one of the customers. She was allergic to all hard liquor, except for tequila, but she didn't like to drink it straight or even with a lemon and salt. Mr. Herrera started experimenting and came up with a concoction that was three parts white tequila, two parts Cointreau and one part fresh lemon juice. He added shaved ice and blended the mixture with a hand shaker. This is the most provable, and well known account, through research, and tracable extended family members (Daughter Jeanie Mackay, Eugene Oregon, and son Townsend King Jr.of Ramona Calif.) Ratios: 3:2:1 = 6:4:2 (50% tequila, 33% Triple Sec, 17% fresh lime juice). Margaret Sames, December 1948 Sames, who created the drink at her Acapulco bar, gave the reason of being "close with a lot of famous hotel and restaurant people" in introducing the margarita. Sames used one part Cointreau, three parts tequila and one part lime juice for her margarita. Knowing that most people drank tequila preceded by a lick of salt, she chose to garnish her cocktail with a rim of coarse salt. Ratios: 3:1:1 = 6:2:2 (60% tequila, 20% Triple Sec, 20% fresh lime juice). >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Don’t strain the neck too much this week watching those bids creep up Sam.

Thanks silver, you brought back some good memories. Used to drink margaritas out of a fish bowl! Ah..the stories I can't remember. I forgot to look at where we ranked during Fridays run.
