I suppose you think it’s easy starting up a restaurant. There are many elements to consider, and I’ve spent a lot of time on the details of outfitting a kitchen, a decor plan, regulations, insurance and contacting suppliers.
We’ve been cooking Mexican for years, so the food seems an incidental part of what we need to think about. However, all my beverage energy generally goes into beer. With determination in our hearts, we’ve recently started down the road to crafting the Electric Margarita.
Mind you, we’re not taking this lightly. Over the course of the last week or two, we’ve tested over a dozen different concoctions with 3 separate lime scenarios and 2 tequilas. Yesterday, we did 8.
There’s nothing like a blind tasting, which is how we did Round 3 yesterday. It revealed that more expensive tequila is better than less expensive tequila. While we’re honing in on the Electric version, we have more plans slated.

Can’t wait to taste the “Electric Margarita”. Am looking forward to the 26th.

If you want volunteers to test the margaritas, my co-worker/friend and I will volunteer for this all important part of your endeavor. We work at the REC -so you are in our old building. We are excited about this whole thing and can’t wait for you to open. By the way I am a vegetarian so I sure hope you have a (at least minor) selection for vegetarians.

I reckon we can veg-ify just about anything you might want. We were actually experimenting with vegetarian chorizo just the other day. It was quite good. As for the Margarita Project, I’m finding volunteers very easy to find. I guess I could track you down if I needed to. Or you could show up and sling a paint brush…
