Or, actually, you can thank my family from Northwestern Ontario, Canada, from whom I've learned two very valuable skills:
1. How to fish.
2. How to drink.
...in no particular order. Ironically, the quality of fish are inversely proportional to the quality of beer, unless of course you're not quite the pretentious Seattle microbrewery A-hole that I am and would order a Coors Light during your last meal. That's ok.
Thus, in this particular pursuit of knowledge I'm delighted to bring you the newest recipe for your next classy get-together: the Canadian Beergarita. Recipe as follows:
Dump 1 can of frozen lemonade into a blender.
Fill empty lemonade can with vodka. Add to blender.
Add 1 beer.
Blend and enjoy.
I know what you're thinking. What's with the vodka? Where's the tequila?...how can that even be good? First of all, it's Canadian. As long as you put the word Canadian in front of it you get to use whatever Mexican naming associations you want and make things that have no cultural resemblance to anything Mexican and claim ignorance by distance. Secondly, just trust me. It's amazing. And by amazing I mean you should probably not underestimate the power of frozen lemonade to hide things which will knock you on your ass.
In exchange, I introduced my family to hummus, and in retrospect, everyone suffered. Let's just say it's easy to take for granted having already adapted to a legume-rich diet at some point. Ahem.
