Remeniscing with Skinnygirl Margarita

Last night we had a true girls' night: Skinnygirl Margaritas, Smirnoff Ice's, pad see ew (I know, random), Honeycombs (surprisingly a great munchy), and nuts (no, not those kind).

First, a little word on the Skinnygirls.

I'm personally not much of a margarita fan. I actually don't like drinks with alcohol bases other than vodka. And when I'm taking shots, it better be Grey Goose. (Oh my goodness, since when did I turn into such a picky princess...)
Anyway, given all of that, I wasn't loving Skinnygirl. We chose to take shots of this. (Maybe that was a bad idea? Should we have blended it?) The drink has a strong aftertaste to it and I definitely needed to chase it down, or shove my mouth with Honeycomb cereal. For something that only has 12.7% alcohol content, chasing is not something I expected at all! But my friends who like margaritas and order them at restaurants and stuff--they liked it.

The drink is $14.99 for 750 ml at the Bevmo in Stockton. Beware! It goes by fast. We got two bottles for six girls and we got through about one and a half. If you're looking to get smashed, this drink isn't for you. But to run a nice buzz and get the girls chatty, perfect.

When the girls get together what do we do?? Talk about the 90s. We watched music videos from mostly Britney Spears all night long.

Oops!... I Did it Again - Britney Spears

 

I'm a Slave 4 U - Britney Spears

 Genie in a Bottle - Christina Aguilera

Rumor - Lindsay Lohan (the girl who wanted to be Britney but couldn't)

Man, so long ago. And to think... some of the current junior high school students may not know about these people!!! Would they know about Michael Jordan?
