1. Check the fridge for lime
one figures the salt part is probably covered, even at Ye Olde Bachelor Padde.

8. Do you have tomato juice and orange juice?
then it goes shot of tj, shot of tequila, shot of oj....

Personally, I'd just skip the tj and mix the tequila with oj or if it's decent tequila, drink it alone, FAST!

9. I think a shot of tomato juice
would make me hurl so painfully that I wouldn't be able to drink anything else. Tequila and OJ sounds good. Does that have a name? Mexican Screwdriver or something?

15. That's what I get for lousy planning. I've got Tequila and Kahlua, and no vodka or Triple Sec.
I'm half tempted to try the Tequila and Kahlua, but...

24. Stone cold.
I've got Pepsi, OJ, apple juice, grape juice, pomegranite juice (not POM, so it's bitter), Kahlua, and a few variations of wine, though I've only got a cheap bottle of Muscat opened. And stuff I can't imagine helping, like soy milk and green tea.

29. Ideas...
if you have coffee in the house and a desire to be very drunk and very awake...one part Kahlua to one part tequila to four parts coffee. It's the fancy, sophisticated equal of Red Bull and Vodka.

otherwise it's the Tequila Sunrise:

7 oz. OJ
1 oz. Tequila

you might add a splash of Pomegranate to add some tartness and color. Liquor always complements bitter, especially in the presence of sweet flavors.

My best friend in college, Fitz, used to drink Tequila and Cola. Never really my thing. It has a nice spice note though and the tequila brings out the natural flavors of the cola.

Tequila, good tequila at least, stands on it's own...or with a lime and salt.

36. Tequila and OJ with a splash of pomegranate juice? That's practically a Tequila Sunrise
I've heard Tequila and Coke called a "Mexicola." I've never tried it, but some people must drink Tequila and Pepsi. Tequila in any kind of juice is good. :9

No not me -- tequila is on my black list. That stuff is really bad.

41. got any lemonade
or those plastic squeeze lemons in the frig? What about lemonade Kool-aide or Chrystal lite? I feel for ya. You must find a mixer. I myself love a good Margarita. I often ask the bartender not to use any Triple Sec because I don't like an overwhelming orange taste in my drink. I ask for Rosa's Lime. Mmmmmmmm. I like them sour and salty. Forget that crappy orange stuff.

46. Well what kind of tequila is it?
If it's top shelf stuff I don't want no fricking triple sec.

If it's crap stuff I don't want it period.

Tequila was made to be savored not put in some fu-fu frozen drink
