Hi r/cocktails!
I am in the midst of attempting to come up with a margarita recipe for a dear friend who is allergic to all things citrus. Obviously, lime juice is usually a key ingredient in any margarita, and I would like to try and create something that replicates that oh-so-delicious flavor of a traditional sour mix.
I've experimented with ginger, cucumber, and more, but haven't been able to get something that tastes just right. Does anyone have a citrus-free recipe they love?
I was watching some this morning- it's on Youtube- and I feel like there are a lot of iffy serves. Seems to me I'm seeing the ball being tossed up slightly by many of the pro players. Anybody have thoughts on it?
I've heard this song a couple times now but can't find a streaming link or something to hear it on demand? Any ideas? The song just speaks to me, such a damn good song.
Margaritaville snapped up the rights to the album earlier this year, figured there'd be a video or something, but nothing out there with my google-fu.
“Some people claim that there’s a woman to blame, but I know, it’s my own damn fault.”
This came on the radio today and I was mindlessly singing along when I realized that A LOT of people could benefit from taking this as their personal motto. Particularly because the first time this part is sung, “it’s nobody’s fault,” but by the end of the song, accountability is realized! It’s his own damn fault! Not a woman’s! Jimmy Buffett grows as a person, and so can you!
So, I don't know if the agony of the boys in this episode is so solid it made me imagined that, but I believe there was a video of them at the red (blue) carpet and I simply CAN'T FIND IT! Please help me get to this video counterpart treasure or at least to know for sure I made it up.
Ps.: If you haven't listened to this episode yet, do yourself a favor and dip into this pool of comedy, anxiety and chaos.
Edit 1: Okay, fellow Mbambmbinos, it seems like it was an episode of mass self gaslighting, where we made up the memory of the video based on these pics:

And the vivid awkwardness in which we are immersed on this episode. Thank you all for solving the crime and I hope this also bring some closure to you.
I remember watching this episode in middle school, and I didn't really understand the concepts at all, as I didn't know or cared about the financial crisis of 2008. Fast forward like 10 years and after watching this movie called "The Big Short" in a finance class last semester, I came across this episode again and gave it another shot. It is now one of my favorite episodes ever. Their way of creating "Margaritaville-backed securities" and how Stan had to go through the financing agent, to Wall Street and finally to the US Treasury where the decisions made were basically a crap shoot is absolutely genius. The fact that Kyle cleared everyone's debts with an American Express platinum card with no spending limit is hilarious, and the fact that the Margaritaville machine symbolized how its basically everyone's personal fault that lead to the crisis blew my mind away because if you look up the meaning of the song Margaritaville, it basically says how Jimmy Buffett realized that his problems are his own fault and nobody else's. I don't know, just wanted to give some appreciation to this episode because whether they meant to or not, this episode had a lot of underlying symbolism that works so well. I know lots of the episodes have some sort of symbolism like this, but are there any other ones that stuck out to you?
so i’m moving to the Kissimmee area within the next few months, and i’ve been eying the apartment complex “Domain Orlando” by Margaritaville. In y’all’s opinion, is this area a nice place to live? i’m gonna be working at Disney World so i love the proximity to the parks, and i also love being close to a target! just wanted to see if y’all had any positive or negative reviews of this area or the apartment complex specifically. thanks!
My car's busted. My registration is out of date and it will cost about as much as a new car to get it fixed. I hate driving that thing. The wheel barely turns even with Herculean effort. I hate how it makes me look trashy. Like I'm a old broken car in disrepair. My friend drives a Mustang. So when I go to eat out, as I do every day, I sometimes have to walk. Tonight I walked to my nearest 7-11. It's a short walk. It's near a hotel named "Margaritaville". When I saw the sign I started singing lightly to myself "wasting away again in Margaritaville", hoping no drivers-by would hear me. After a long wait at the crosswalk I arrive at the parking lot for the esteemed 7-11. It was inhabited, as usual, by seedy people. I walk in and go straight to the drinks. I'd taken a hefty dose of barbiturates earlier but that won't stop me from drinking. I debate between 3 tall cans of Bud light or 3 talls of Coors. I chose Coors. As I go to the register I give into another vice; I buy an expensive disposable vape. How many have I gone through in my life? I ask for two slices of mediocre pizza in case I get hungry later in the night, though I prefer to only eat one meal a day. I walk out of the store ready for a night of feeling something other than depressed boredom. I walk home still singing Margaritaville.

Dear JM Sub,
One of the cubs has written an interesting analysis on one of Southpark's best episodes, Margaritaville ( Season 13, Ep 3). I've decided to share it with everyone for a break from you usually scheduled programming. :)

Episode : Margaritaville
(Best to watch that first, before you go onto this article)
For 20 years, the kids of South Park have been skewering every sacred cow they can find. In its thirteenth season, South Park masterfully merged two of its favorite targets for ridicule: religion and consumerism. And you know what happens when we marry God and money. A multilayered argument about personal agency and the mysterious nature of the economy.
Religion has long been a handy tool for explaining the unexplainable. It's through clever religious allegory, then, that "Margaritaville" manages to tackle the economic crash of 2008 and a mysterious system that for many remains the unexplainable-the economy. When the all-powerful "economy" leaves South Park in tatters, everyone is quick to direct blame somewhere-including Wall Street. Still, it's Randy's characteristically bizarre perspective that builds a significant following across South Park. Taking his cues from old-school Protestant ethics, Randy preaches the economy is a petty, vengeful deity that must be appeased by worship. His idea? To stop needless spending. Randy's position draws from the fearful punishment-oriented philosophies of the Old Testament. South Park steers straight into those biblical parallels, right down to the flinging of stones—I mean squirrels—by those who pass judgment on the fallen. Randy's persecution of Kyle mimics the biblical role of the Pharisees. The Pharisees were an influential group who greeted Jesus's message with skepticism, paranoia, and ultimately, incitement of violence in the New Testament. Kyle's third act of self-sacrifice in which he, a Christ-like figure, has dinner with his enemy, takes on all South Park's debt, and sacrifices himself for the community furthers the biblical parallels th
