Snowgaritas

Fresh powder makes great Margaritas. I discovered this the hard way a long time ago in grad school. We were having a party, and my roommate at the time laughed at me when we ran out of ice and I started to panic. There was something like four feet of fresh snow on our little porch alone, enough to make many hundreds of pitchers of margaritas and for some reason I couldn't look past the empty ice cube tray in the freezer. Mike, Leener you all can stop laughing now.

That memory came back to me this past weekend when we were up in south Lake Tahoe. We like to rent a place every year so the kids could play in the snow and we could do a little cross country skiing. The rental didn't have any ice made, but after the little ones fell asleep we'd pack the pitcher with fresh snow and make Margaritas the way you would normally. No blender required. Perfect.
