Margaritas on ice

Chilling my Margarita in a snow drift

I normaly prefer my margaritas on the rocks, but I can handle having the cold slush puppy variety at the end of a hard days hike ;)

Abundant Water

Me and Paul are happy as Larry today, for the first time were surrounded by running water and grass. We’ve just entered the San Pedro Parks Wilderness and are looking forward to the start of some proper mountain country.

We’re in Cuba


No not the island, the little town in New Mexico. We’re stuck here for a bit while we wait for Fed Ex to deliver some crampons and stuff for snow we’re expecting to come across shortley.

Cowboy Country

This is exactly what I thought New Mexico was going to be like – just like a cowboy film!

Snow Drift!


This is the first remnants of last winters snow pack that we’ve come across. It’s pretty soft, must be melting fast!

Mount Taylor


Ah its good to be on top of a proper mountain at last :) at 11,300ft this is as high as we go in New Mexico. All downhill to Colorado from here!

Dehydrated Margaritas so far…

We’re trying to discover the perfect sports margarita by combining powdered lemon & lime drinks with neat Tequila. It may take a while to find the perfect match, but here are the results so far.

#1The Replenish wasn’t too bad, this is our favourite so far, it does taste pretty much like a Margarita and has added electrolytes to boot!

#2The Country time was ok, we could happily drink it, but perhaps lacked the lime kick of the Replenish.

#3The Cool-Aid was pretty grim… Beside the fact that it’s bright green, just tasted like a cup of chemicals.

Mountain Margaritas

Mountain Margaritas

I‘ve been day dreaming about this for a few day… we sometimes drink various powered sports drinks which are generally lemon and lime flavoured to replace lost minerals etc and to liven up plain old water.

I reckon there must be a powdered drink out there that when added to a mug of Tequila wouldn’t be far off tasting like a Margarita?

We usually carry whiskey to add to our coffee on an evening, but I reckon we could be onto a winner with a midday Mountain Margarita drink, when we hit Colorado there’ll even be plenty of ice on hand too ;)

Above is all the options I could find at the supermarket in Grants: Kool-Aid, Country Time Lemonade and Replenish sports drink. I’m going to stick some tequilla in and let you know how it goes!
