I hate to admit it, but I didn't think the San Diego Chargers would be in this situation this year. I mean, think about about it? Our season started AWFULLY. We lost the first two games, and ended the season at 8 and 8. And yet, through luck, hard work and lots of karma, we made the playoffs!!! I have to admit it, I was ready to admit defeat but we made it. We defeated the Colts, but now comes the real test with the Steelers. So, no matter what happens today, I think we all need to have a Chargers cocktail, right? Comon, they made it this far!!!

INGREDIENTS

• 2 oz Tequila
• 1 oz Blue Curacao
• 1 oz Triple Sec
• 1 oz Lime Juice
• Margarita Salt
• Garnish: Lime Wedge

DIRECTIONS

Mix all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Strain into a margarita glass rimmed with salt (optional). Garnish with lime wedge.

How To Drink Tequila

There are two schools of thought on how you properly drink tequila. There's the infamous Lick-it, Slam-it, Suck-it method (salt first, tequila second, suck on lime wedge last) or the savour-it method, where you sip your glass of tequila slowly, similar how you would enjoy cognac (this is usually done with really good tequila like Cazadores Reposado, Tres Generaciones Añejo, or Herradura Silver).

But if you're like my family, which you probably are, then my tio Alex and tia Marisa's method will probably work best for you--just don't use any of that Jose Cuervo stuff--it's too harsh for your pipes! Salud!
