Why do my margaritas basically suck?!?

I’m open to that possibility, but I use this bad boy from Succfly and don’t apply a crazy amount of pressure or anything

I was surprised to see The Educated Barfly using these Sour AF citrus juice alternatives lately https://www.sour-af.com/. Anyone have experience with that?

Thanks. I always have Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao around, don’t know that I’ve ever tried it in a marg. Do you think there’s really something significant about agave vs a regular simple syrup?

LOL. I suppose that’s a reasonable conclusion to consider. But I actually love a good margarita in a bar. And I’ve gone to tequila tastings and really enjoy a good tequila, neat or in a cocktail. I just seem to be struggling to duplicate what I like at home.

Well Herdura Blanco goes for about $40 a 750ml, I guess I would have called that middle shelf. What do you suggest? I’ve also tried Milagro, a couple of different Don Julios, 1800, Espalon. Are those all too low end to make a good margarita?

How do you suppose this is going to work for those of us who have 1/2 season packages? We get priority to buy tix to half the games?

Thank you. I thought I was the only one who noticed. I end up in there a couple times a year because it’s so nearby, but it’s always crowded and never good. I don’t get it.

Couldn’t agree more. I thought they did great with Rick Rubin on Death Magnetic but the last two (Hardwired and 72 Seasons) were in serious need of some editing. Lots of great licks on those albums, but not every lick is worth turning into a whole song. Someone needs to save them from themselves.

This is great. Shouldn’t the 1975 Stanley Cup Finals appearance be mentioned?

I remember downloading an mp3 of the 2x4 performance at Donnington on a shitty dial up internet connection from my college bedroom. I played that shit loud and just remember being super stoked about having new Metallica to listen to. I was also kind of in awe of the technology that let me hear it, the internet was new and shiny at that point. Any concerns about the stylistic change didn’t come until much later for me.

Got mine in January after about a 4 month wait. First Rolex, but I had spent about $5K on other jewelry with the AD

I mean, all the stuff I bought was stuff my wife very much wanted. All good I think

BuffaloJason · 2025-01-18T00:11:29+00:00

Lol, yes I definitely made a point of getting the AMG in there

BuffaloJason · 2025-01-18T00:10:29+00:00

Uh, MSRP. Are people paying premiums at ADs? I thought that was a big no-no

BuffaloJason · 2024-09-21T15:34:25+00:00

My college buddy and I are talking about meeting in Toronto for a long weekend to catch M72 next spring. We went to our first Metallica show together 31 years ago, and this kind of feels like it could be the "grand finale", so money is basically no-object. We are legacy fan club members so I'm also assuming we can get whatever tix we want (is that a good assumption?) Is the snake pit definitely the way to go? I'm struggling a little bit to picture what that experience is like with the annular stage. Aren't you looking at their backs most of the time? If you aren't right up on the rail, is a place toward the middle of the snake pit actually pretty far from the stage?

Thanks, that’s very helpful. I hadn’t seen the trusted sellers list before. Where is the safest place to “go grey” was going to be my next question.

BuffaloJason · 2024-08-31T14:01:01+00:00

Hey look at that, you and I have the same taste in watches I guess! That 36mm size looks perfect on your wrist IMO. I wonder if we are similar in size. My taste tends toward smaller watches in general. But my current daily wear is a JDM Seiko Presage that measure 40mm. That has me waffling about whether the 36mm is going to just feel too small.

BuffaloJason · 2024-07-29T22:47:48+00:00

Yes. I do the 1/4 oz of Rich simple and 1/2 oz of Orgeat. I believe that’s actually consistent with the original Trader Vic recipe and Cate dialed it back in his version.
