1800 Coconut tequila, agave, lime and toasted coconut

Skinny Coconut Marg

Saturday lunch, late May. Four of us from the old college apartment, reunited for the first time since somebody's wedding. Thirty-six holes behind us. Sunburned shoulders. A dispute about a three-putt on the fourteenth that will outlive us all.

We claimed the long table at the edge of the patio. Someone ordered food. Someone else challenged the room to foosball. I went to the bar.

Here is what came back with me, four glasses balanced with the concentration of a woman defusing something.

1800 Coconut tequila, smooth and breezy, a beach hammock in liquid form. Agave nectar, gentle and golden. Fresh lime juice, sharp enough to snap you to attention. And toasted coconut, crisp and nutty, a little crown of it, like the drink went on vacation and came back with a tan.

Light. Bright. Not one ounce of guilt. A skinny margarita, and proud of it.

Marcus tasted his and closed his eyes. Jen said it reminded her of the spring break we never actually took. Theo said nothing at all, which from Theo is the highest possible praise.

Then we went back to the foosball table, two on two, the old rivalries fully restored. Jen scored the winner off the back wall. We ordered another round to formally protest.
