Barb.

Try a Cranberry Margarita if you are in the mood:

Juice from one lime
2 shots tequila
1 shot triple sec or Grand Mariner.

Place ingredients into a 10 to 12 oz. glass.

Fill with cranberry juice.

It's got pucker power but damn it's good. ;-)

Add crushed ice to taste.

You can also salt the glass rim, but I personally prefer my 'rita's salt
free.

I never saw the sense in salting the glass....... just as I never see the
sense in shoving a wedge of lemon into a bottle of beer!!

LOL!!!

Lip curling 'ritas, but not beer??!!

Beer is like wine....... there are some smooth ones out there, and there
are a few 'ruff ones.

But "bitter"?? Not even the Bitter Beer is as bitter as lime and cranberry
juice!!

But then, I s'pose some people call certain brands of coffee "bitter".

It's all a matter of personal taste of course. :-)

I have NEVER been able to understand or enjoy beer...

I'm a wine drinker.

I started on beer, then went to wine as there weren't a lot of different
taste options for beer back in the early 90's.

But with the boom in boutique breweries, and the importation of a *lot* of
o/s beers, it's certainly opened up the 'taste' side of things again.

So now and then, I like to have a couple of (different) beers of an
afternoon........ but wine is still the drink of choice :-)

What type? I can go back and forth between dry and semi-sweet. I'm not
much of a fan of sweet wines except for Sherry or Port.

No sweat.

I'll have plenty of low-carb, and no-carb, beer on hand for you to at least
try....... before we try the wines ;-)

Unfortunately, the only thing available around here in the grocery
stores is cranberry juice "cocktail" which everyone I know shortens to
cranberry juice.

Cases? Really? Wherever do you store the "cases of bubbles" you have on
hand? That tiny island shack you live in only has 800 square feet.

I'll just be she is. A real "bubbles" type of girl.
