HAPPY HOUR: BLUE MARGARITA

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Here in Iceland we are still technically waiting for the summer to come. It really is quite upsetting to say the least but global warming hasn´t pulled through this summer. I´m really not taking the matter of global warming lightly but to be honest we´ve been having great summers for the past few years and we´ve grown accustomed to nice weather. So needless to say it really upsetting when the weather is just plain shitty like it´s been all summer and according to meteorologists it´s the coldest June we´ve had in 59 years folks – that´s a lot!

The good news is that we are doing a BBQ for an Icelandic TV station and the Chef was not to happy that the first episode wont air until July 14^th. But – since the weather has been so horrible no one has really been in the mood to fire up the grill and throw a party. So all is not lost. Hopefully the weather will improve and we´ll at last have the summer that we dream of and everyone will go mad with BBQ-fever a la Volli.

So – my drink today is blue – it´s kind of an ode to the miserable weather here and a reminder that then the going gets rough – the tequila get´s you going!

This is a Blue Margarita – made by the lady herself – Isabel Allison.

I really, really hope you enjoy this one!
