Drink of the Week! Serrano Chile Margarita

It’s thirsty Thursday, so you know what that means… Time to quench your thirst with a little bit of alcohol!

With summertime in full swing, let’s turn up the heat.

TBT to how Nelly put it back in 2002, “It’s getting hot in here (so hot), so take off all your clothes.” This drink ain’t too far off from that definition. To be honest, this spicy serrano chile margarita can make you do just that.

I keep it simple & to the point- aka shot glasses are my measurement.

INGREDIENTS
– 1 or 2 shot(s) of Peligroso Silver or Peligroso Anejo Tequila (Do 2, don’t be a b*tch)
– 2 shots of fresh squeezed lime juice
– 2 shots of simple syrup (So yeah, none of us own simple syrup so here’s how to make it: Bring equal parts of water & sugar/Splenda {if you’z a skinny betch} to a boil. For example, 1 cup water & 1 cup sugar/Splenda)
– 2-5 Serrano peppers (Cut these and use to garnish your drink, or use jalapenos/baby red peppers if you’re a p*ssy and can’t take the extra heat)
– Sea salt for the rim (if you’re feeling feisty add some chili powder to the rim as well)

Look at you go hottie (LITERALLY).

 

FYI, this drink is best made if you let the cut up serrano’s marinate in the tequila for a day or two before using. Then you have spicy tequila good to go! But if you’re in a hurry and want it quick, use these ingredients, cut up some peppers and toss a few into your glass!

SPIT FIRE MY FRIENDS… Or keep that to yourself until you get home.

CHEERS!

Exclusive! MCM: Connor Halliday

Wishing this Monday you could take a holiday? Well, we can’t give you the day off but we can give you a little HALLIDAY to brighten your day. 😉

That’s right baby! It’s another TCD Man Crush Monday!

This week we give you college QB stud, Connor Halliday!

Halliday went to Washington State University to play quarterback for the Cougs and boy were the Cougs fortunate to have him! As a junior in 2013, he started all 13 games setting multiple records including Pac-12 and WSU records with 449 completions and 714 attempts. In the game against Oregon, he broke Drew Brees‘ record for pass attempts in a game with 89. His 4,597 yards were also a school record and his 34 touchdowns tied Ryan Leaf for most in school history. 

As a senior he would complete something no other NCAA quarterback has done. On October 4 in their game against Cal, Halliday set the NCAA FBS passing yardage record by passing for 734 yards. SAY WHAAA?!

Halliday signed with Redskins this year, but has since made a statement that he will be retiring. We’ll be sad not to watch this entertaining QB out on the field, but we’re glad we got to see you impress in college!

Check out what Halliday told TCD this week and prepare to swoon at his proudest moment. #sopresh

Drink of the Week! National Piña Colada Day

If you like piña coladas, and getting caught in the rain… Then we got a damn good piña for you to celebrate National Piña Colada day!

Naturally, we thought we’d get real festive for TCD’s drink of the week in honor of such a classic!

Toasted Coconut Piña Colada !

Ingredients:
1 small pineapple (To put the drink in… duh)
1/2 cup shredded coconut for the rim (Toast the coconut in the oven for a few minutes until golden brown)
1/4 cup freshly-squeezed orange juice
1/4 cup coconut rum
1 1/4 ounce dark rum
1/2 cup pureed pineapple (puree the pineapple you carved out of the middle)
If you like it sweet, add a dash of sugar or simple syrup

Check yourself before you wreck yourself with these bad boys! Don’t think we don’t know y’all are in LOVE with that coco! 😉

Exclusive! MCM: Nick Wagner

Monday, Monday! And we got another man for you babes to drool over.

Meet this week’s MCM: Nick Wagner!

Here’s another guy that’s just straight up athletic. This 6’3, 210 lb. hunk was drafted out of high school by the Toronto Blue Jays. Wagner then had a change of plans heading to Oregon to play as a punter for the football team. When he realized how little the team actually punts, he went back to baseball.

He transferred to Dominguez Hills where he spent most of his time batting, with an occasional pitching appearance. Lucky him, because Angels scout Dan Cox liked what he saw when he watched Wagner on the mound and invited him to a private tryout.

He hit 95mph. No big deal.

Could he do it again? Sure, why not.

He hit it again at a tryout at Angel Stadium just before the draft.

Needless to say, the Angels spent a 44th-round draft pick and sent him to the Arizona Rookie League, where he proceeded to strike out 32 batters in 191/3 innings.

Wagner spent this past fall working on his pitching in instructional league, however the Angels invited him to spring training in the early group, before the reporting day for the rest of the minor leaguers.

We love a man with plenty to say and boy did we get that from Mr. Wagner this week! Check out all the elaborate responses Wagner had for all our questions! He even hand-wrote them all out for us in his notebook! From the his crush on a childhood fave to admitting to being a total softy (awww), this is a MCM you don’t want to miss out on reading!

Thanks for being TCD’s MCM this week Nicky boy! We’ll be rooting for ya!

Until Next Time,
