Believe it or not, I just completed a 6 mile hike in 3 hours!  Sore - yep. Exhausted - you betcha.  Thirsty and in need of reward ~ ABSOLUTELY!!  Mardi Gras is just around the corner and I figured that the 3 ounces of fruit juice and garnish fulfills a portion of my daily fiber needs and the 4 ounces of rum will take the place of my ibuprofen.  Now, all I need is a really cute bartender to deliver it to my recliner......

Yes, there may be some confusion as to the differences between a Classic Chelada and a Michelada, but who really cares?  These Mexican drinks became popular back in the 1940's and 1950's and the people from the country of origin swear by their curative hangover powers.  Hey, Bartender!  I'll take tres, por favor.  Happy Weekend!!!

Welcome to our new series, Booze Clues, where we spend some quality time doing one on one interviews with wine, spirits and other tingly beverages.  If you have a suggestion or would like us to review your products, drop me a line at heidi@intothesoup.com.  Enjoy! 

I kind of like Dr. Pepper..but I'm not a big fan of eggnog.  I like beer, but eggnog, well I can take it or leave it.  I LOVE rum and Amaretto...eggnog, not so much.  Hopefully, you get where I'm going here.  I DON'T LIKE EGGNOG!  So, instead of posting one of those "Let's use Eggnog in a Holiday Knock You on Your Keester" drinks, I went with something a bit less conventional to knock you on your keester the last week(end) before Christmas.  OK, I guess if you wanted to add a dash of eggnog....THAT WOULD SUCK!!!!

This is a great way to 'brace' yourself for all things December!  Shopping, shopping and more shopping. So before you head out the door with your designated driver, shoot one of these ~ you'll feel all warm and fuzzy inside and perhaps you'll consider leaving your can of pepper spray in the car.  Let's all play nice.....
