I don't think fruits belong in beer OR tequila (no exceptions).

[LynneSin]

If you're beer and/or tequila is so bad you need fruit to make it palatable perhaps you should give up drinking!

[ipfilter]

1. I like tequila in my tequila...maybe some ice.

[Lethe]

2. that is beer manlaw

established by miller light commercial

tequila...you might have a tougher time getting lime out of the picture

[geardaddy]

6. Sorry, but no real men drink

Piss Lite.

:o

[Lethe]

9. well then

i don't drink it either (unless it's free), but the commercials were informative

[geardaddy]

16. Haven't seen the commercials

I agree that one should not put fruit in beer (unless the brew itself has it in it, e.g. lambic).

[Lethe]

18. lol, they established there shall be no fruit with beer

man law

[Shakespeare]

3. Not even a lambic?

500+ years of history suggests you should re-think that. Peach lambic = heaven in a glass.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambic

[LynneSin]

4. Cannot STAND Lambic - I had a Cranberry one once

:puke:

[Shakespeare]

Well, cranberry lambic sounds fookin' nasty.

Try a better flavor next time!

[BikeWriter]

5. I've done tequila for fifty years, with lime or without. I'll drink it either.

[LynneSin]

7. I haven't done it that long but I've actually returned tequila when a bartender puts a damn lime in

I was at a bar just 2 weeks ago and bought a Patron Anejo. THe girl comes over and there is a lime on the glass and salt on the rim. I told that I had said "NEAT" which means nothing but the liquor. Manager gave me a free shot - he understood why I was upset about my shot.

[geardaddy]

8. With Patron, I agree

but some of the floor cleaner out there needs the salt and lime.

[LynneSin]

11. True but I wouldn't order those

I haven't touched Cuervo in year. Just nasty nasty ass shit!

[ipfilter]

19. No amount of salt or lime can fix

the abomination that is Jarez Tequila.

[ipfilter]

13. I don't understand the need to put lime and salt in the

sweet nectar of the blue-agave root.

[BikeWriter]

17. I can and have lived on booze for weeks. Sometimes, one's body

craves vitamins and minerals!

[BikeWriter]

15. You were right, and the manager knew it. Neat means nekkid!

[MissMillie]

10. this beer

http://www.bluemoonbrewingcompany.com/

w/ a slice of orange...


It's wonderful

[Sky Masterson]

12. I'm with you on the beer

Fruit has no place in it.IMHO

[Ohio Joe]

14. Agreed

If you need fruit with your tequila, you need to be drinking real tequila. I keep mine in the freezer so its nice and cold when I drink it.

[Shell Beau]

20. I will suck a lime if I do a shot of tequila. But beer is own its own.

No need to add anything.

[BikeWriter]

23. There ya go, Sweetums, I'll agree. Unless someone mentions...

MUDBUGS!

[Shell Beau]

24. Mudbugs and beer go together like peanutbutter and jelly!

:)

[BikeWriter]

32. You got that right, Sweety. I always boil corn and new taters with them. :)

[Shell Beau]

42. Of course. We also add whole garlic, onions, and some other stuff.

:9

It is that time too. We may be boiling some up this weekend.

[PRETZEL]

21. Occaisonally when I was brewing

in the summer I'd make a rasberry wheat that when drank ice cold was pretty good.

But something like that is the exception.

[Bake]

22. A lime wedge is the only thing that makes Corona potable.

Bake

[LynneSin]

26. Perhaps, then, you should be drinking a different beer

:shrug:

[Bake]

28. No shit! That's why I don't drink the stuff!

:hi:

Bake

[Sentath]

25. Ok, but what about the other way 'round?

Toward the end of the season when the watermellon are getting bland. Cut the flesh into bite sized cubes and sprinkle with a decent tequila.

[no name no slogan]

27. So who are you, the drunk police?

:shrug:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

29. I openly mock people who need training wheels to drink tequila

I do put limes in Corona sometimes.

[LynneSin]

31. Well you have to put something into Corona to make it drinkable...

like emptying out the Corona bottle and putting Dogfish Pale Ale into there

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

34. I don't like Dogfish

I'm not a big ale person. I pretty much stick to Smithwick's Ale and Celtic Ale.

[BikeWriter]

36. I have drunk truckloads of Tequila, and "need" nothing with it...

Lime and salt taste good though.

[Lucian]

30. Tequila rose is good shit.

I won't drink tequila straight up (mainly because it tastes like shit). But I will drink tequila rose.

[Lyric]

33. Baja Rosa is another good strawberry cream tequila.

Yum! Makes great desserts. :)

[Schema Thing]

35. Some things enhance other things

lime enhances many things.

[BikeWriter]

41. Millions of Hispanics couldn't be wrong. Limes and Lemons...

are used as a condiment with many Mexican foods.

[DarkTirade]

37. One exception for me... Sam Adams Summer ale. Already has lemon in it, but an extra slice adds a bit

of extra oomph on a hot day. :)

[Inchworm]

38. God thinks yer sexy

true story

:P

























:yoiks:

[Left Is Write]

39. Certain beers are enhanced by fruit, and it isn't a matter of it being "bad"

and needing to be made "more palatable" with the additional flavor.

For example, Leinenkugels Sunset Wheat tastes great all by itself. The addition of an orange slice enhances that goodness. It covers up nothing.

[Initech]

40. Nope. I'll take a lime in my Dos Equis but that's it,

[seemunkee]

43. Come on

a little lime rubbed on the rim adds a nice bite to it.
And nothing wrong making a margarita with some of the cheaper stuff. And by cheaper stuff I'm not talking about Jose Cuervo gold grap, I'm thinking some of the better mixtos or lower quality blanco

[LynneSin]

44. Yeah if you're drinking the cheap, mass produced stuff

If you drink the top shelf stuff that is made with some care then you don't need that extra shit

[seemunkee]

45. It's also good for this

Tequila Lime Shrimp
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons tequila
1/4 cup olive oil
1 pinch garlic salt
1 pinch ground cumin
ground black pepper to taste
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
6 (10 inch) wooden skewers
1 large lime, quartered
Whisk together the lime juice, tequila, olive oil, garlic salt, cumin, and black pepper in a bowl until well blended. Pour into a large resealable plastic bag; add the shrimp, seal bag and turn to coat evenly. Refrigerate 1 to 4 hours before grilling.
Soak skewers at least 30 minutes in water to prevent burning.
Preheat outdoor grill for medium-high heat. Lightly oil grill grate, and place about 4 inches from heat source.
Drain and discard marinade from shrimp. Thread shrimp onto prepared skewers, 5 to 6 per skewer.
Cook, uncovered, on preheated grill until shrimp turn pink, turning once, for 5 to 7 minutes. Serve with lime wedges for garnish.
