In drink recipes, the word "mix" may only be used as a verb, as in "Mix thoroughly."

Using it as a noun "1 pkg. margarita mix" is sinful, treasonous, stupid, ugly, unfuckingcouth, declasse, skanky, and, well, Just Not Done.

Word.

Damn skippy.

I once made a banana cream pie for a client when I only had half an hour to do it in. I used a graham cracker crust that she had in her pantry, sliced bananas, beat up some instant pudding powder with milk, and daubed some Cool WhipTM on top.

She raved about it, and I told her it was nothing, really--"It's not like I COOKED or anything, that was some-assembly-required."

That's why older cookbooks are better, there's far fewer of the box-of-this/can-of-that recipes.

Did somebody just say they'd mix me up a margarita?

[cruisergirl]

I'll have mine on the rocks with salt.

A classic margarita has four ingredients anyway, and that's counting the salt. What the hell does anyone need a mix for, anyway? The times when they've had so many already that they can't count to four?

I thought that was when you're supposed to start taking slugs from the bottle.

My favotie recipes are mostly like this:

WHISKEY: pour in glass.

Although now and then I'll get on a wierd kick of drinking something like Sazeracs or Mai Tais. Last night, for some weird reason, I was craving a banana daquiri. Probably a good thing that Iw as too lazy to actually make one. ;)

If you drink anything other than water or whey, you'll be either scrawny, fat, or skinny-fat, and your dad will never love you, and always be bigger than you.

Beautiful rejoinder.
