Margaritaville
So, we had a lively time last night.
I've become a big fan of HouseParty.com, an online community that matches products and customers. Users can apply to host House Parties, where they'll share the contents of a party package provided by a company that wants to show off their product. Last spring, we held a party to introduce the new "Bet You Know It" edition of Trivial Pursuit.
This time around, our party was sponsored by Sauza Tequila. So I got a great party pack with a pitcher, margarita glasses, and coupons that let me get really cheap tequila. We have a semi-regular girls' night out, so I invited everyone over for a corporate-sponsored get-together. I made Tequila-Lime Chicken Tacos, all of the guests brought something yummy, and I made a "key lime" pie (the Cooks Illustrated version, which uses regular limes) for dessert.
We tried the Sauza margarita mix, and then had strawberry margaritas from a frozen mix (I'm sugaring glass rims here) for dessert. I think everyone had a great time - I know I did! Now I just have to figure out what we're going to do with all the leftover tequila.....
