I never understood why people get virgin drinks. I mean, the whole point of drinking is for the alcohol. The concept of a virgin drink to me is much like getting a veggie burger. Although on that note, I must give props to decaf coffee since it has done a pretty decent job at keeping the coffee flavor without having all of the coffee ingredients. Other than that, nothing's going to be as good as it should be because you're trying to make it be something its clearly not.
I ordered a virgin margarita today and I think I'm more disappointed than if I hadn't gotten the drink at all. We were having lunch al fresco at Casa de Guadalajara, with mariachi band and Mexican dancers. The weather was great and I couldn't help but think of how great a margarita would be right now because of the great atmosphere. So Mike, being the supportive husband that he is, suggested I order one...virgin, of course.
The drink came and I took a big eager sip, only to be disappointed. I can only describe as being pretty good...except it was missing something - like tequila. So until virgin drinks catch up to decaf, I'll order drinks that are made just as they were intended to be made.
