The Aw Snap
Friday, February 19, 2010 at 12:00AM I was watching a marathon few minutes of Real Housewives of the OC the other night (Don't hate. After an 11 hr day of dealing with 7 million actors it's either the RH garbage or heroin.) There's this new RH who's a Bible beater with giant fakies (that juxtaposition pretty much sums up her fucktardedness) who orders a "skinny girl margarita" at some bar.
Backstory, the "skinny girl margarita" was "invented" by a NYC "RH". I say "RH" because she's not married or even dating, yet she's on the show. I say "invented" because the drink is tequila, Gran Marnier, soada water and limes...pretty much what every skinny female bartender has been drinking since before Christ was hatched. But I'm so happy that some ho who's already rich is making millions off it...
Bitter, party of one? Your empty wallet and marinated liver are ready for you.
Anygrrrr, here's a twisty-pants on the skinny girl margarita - The Sexy As Hell Working Girl Margarita. Or, The Aw Snap. Or maybe I'll just call it, The So There.
Ingredients:
-1 1/2 oz tequila
-1 oz tonic
-splash of grapefruit juice
-squeeze of lime
I know, you're totally weirded out by the tonic, but once you taste it, you'll get over it. I thought it was BS too till my homie JE turned me on to it. Tonic and tequila are like pineapple and ham - you think it's going to make you puke, but you actually want seconds. It's the same with tequila and tonic. And with a splash of grapefruit (I love grapefruit cocktails. I make sweet, sticky love to grapefruit cocktails.) you have the lowest cal, most quenchably delish margie. Now if only I could make a million bucks off it. Aw snap.

I will be sure to try this as soon as the Oxycontin wears off.
Yes, I was a little freaked out by the tonic but may have to try this. Hope all is well with your new job!
Tonic on its own is a nasty, nasty thing, but oddly enough, combine it with gin and it's magical. I don't get it at all. I don't like gin OR tonic yet together, heaven. Therefore, I am willing to believe you when you say in your drink it is fabulous.
I don't know about the skinny girl margarita - I like mine full of fruit and sugar and alcohol so screw that idea. :) I do like to drink soda and lime though. On their own. So refreshing. And if I don't feel like real limes, I love the Roses cordials especially the lime and the grenadine. I'm a fancy girl with fancy tastes.
This week is peach Schnapps week for me. (Peach Schnapps and grenadine cordial = interesting!) I'm almost done with my bottle and I noticed that OMG, my liquor store has the Canton ginger thing. I wonder what my next purchase will be? Hmmmm....
Oh man, I loooooove grapefruit!
Moooooog: Oxy and tequila are a natural married pair though.
Jen: Thanks, Jen! It's kickin' my ass, but going well!
Veggie: Omg, you MUST buy the Canton Ginger!!! I can't believe they have it--that's so awesome!! And they don't have St. Germaine? Weird. Did you find St. Germaine in Winnipeg? (Or was it Manitoba?) You're gonna freak over St. Germaine.
Jenny12: Me toooo!
Bethany is so goddamn annoying with her "skinny girl" crap. Thank you for calling her out! And yeah, why the hell is she even on that show?!
I've actually mixed tequila and seltzer water before. I think tonic would be a step up.
Good god, I want to try that. Thanks, HHH!! Awww Snippity Snap!
Thanks for (1) talking shit about Bethany (yes I know her name b/c I too have a slight interest, nay addiction, to RH), and (2) talking shit about the new OC housewife, and (3) giving us this delicious sounding recipe. I think I know what I'll be ordering tonight....
Ronny: My pleasure!
Toe: Tonic is a pleasant surprise!
Rye: Snippity Snappity awww crappity! :)
C Ros: Yes! Thank god I'm not the only one! And dude, Alexis is kuuuuh-razy! And so is Jim. They totally give me the creeps!!! And 2 nannies? "I work. I raise my kids." Um, you have TWO nannies. You workout is what you meant to say. More tequila for us please!
THANK YOU. I'm sooooo annoyed how Bethany thinks she's so brilliant for that! Helllllooo! Annoying. This sounds 10 times better though.
I really hope you make a million dollars.
Thanks for this! So question. I've never bartended so I don't know the ettiquettes. Is it rude if I ask a bartender to make this and if he doesn't know what a "The Sexy As Hell Working Girl Margarita" is because he is stupid and doesn't read this, can I tell him how? This sounds delicious. I usually stick to vodka sodas or vodka grapefruit but Im feeling a little feisty tonight.
This sounds delic and refreshing...perfect cocktail while watching the Olympics!!
Carissa: Haha! Yeah, he probs won't know what "The Sexy As Hell" is (loser;) but if you just ask him for tequila on the rocks with tonic and a splash of grapefruit you're good to go! ZUMMY!
Caroline: Amen mama!!
go get your patent! how does one (bethany included) go about 'owning' a drink? that never made sense to me. makes me wonder who's getting rich off my cowboy cocksuckers?
Claire: Ummmm, Cowboy Cocksuckers?! You MUST guest post that cocktail!!!
