Celebrate with me—it’s National Happy Hour Day! Back in the Ice Age of my college days, my classmates and I were regulars at El Chico’s, where we indulged in gigantic “Garter Margaritas.” Happy hour was our time, loaded nachos and those drinks in hand. We even crafted an “Ode to Happy Hour” with a line that went: “Half-priced drinks and free hors d’oeuvres, just the thing to calm your nerves.”
Some might turn up their noses at frozen cocktails, but this gem I stumbled upon at Punchdrink.com is a game-changer! Thanks to Haley Traub’s touch of orange juice, it’s a whole new ball game. To keep the ice and liquid united, I threw in a dash of xanthan gum.
