Today we have the Tequila Mockingbird, a mix of tequila, green crème de menthe, and lime juice. We already knew that mint and lime complement each other but were still nervous about mixing it with tequila. I almost suggested to Mrs. Bottle that we use some cheap tequila so we didn’t waste the good stuff but we decided to forge ahead giving the drink its best chance of success. It turned out that the Tequila Mockingbird was delicious and nothing went to waste. As usual, the mint and lime were delicious and refreshing together and the drink packs a bit of a punch, too.
I’m not sure why it is called the Tequila Mockingbird but I don’t usually let lack of actual knowledge keep me from commenting. A mockingbird mimics the sounds of other birds so it is safe to assume that this drink must mimic another drink. While it looks a lot like the Jade that drink isn’t well known enough to be mimicked and/or mocked. That would be the equivalent of TBIAW mocking a blog that is less well known. Something like the concisely named “Addiction help life coach Ontario, Success life coaching - Certified Life Transformation Coach” blog. It just wouldn’t be right. Since we’ve ruled out the Jade, I think I’m going to go with the Mojito instead. The artificially colored mint liqueur is clearly mocking the Mojito’s fresh mint and the absence of club soda is an obvious slap in the face.
Another thing that probably deserves mocking is what we ate for dinner last night, DiGiorno Pizza and Wyngz. We can be mocked for eating junk food and Wyngz can be mocked for being Wyngz. In turn, Wyngz are mocking real chicken wings with both their content and zpelling. I was going to mock Wyngz with a scathing send-up but I learned that Stephen Colbert already discussed them on his show. Some people find him funny, so instead of wasting any more of my time with this sub-par blog post I will just share what he did:
