J&D’S TEQUILA SUNDOWN
DIFFICULTY: No.
TIME: It’s a fucking mixed drink, really?

What you’ll need from the pantry: Tequila. Ice. Orange Juice. Sparkling water, preferably Market Pantry Strawberry Lemonade Sparkling Beverage from Target.
* * *
Pour 3/4 of a cup of orange juice in your glass.
Add a shot and a half of tequila if you’re like Jessica, or two shots if you’re like Derek.
Stir.
Add 1/4 cup of the above-mentioned sparkling water.
Add ice.
Garnish with an orange wedge.
Last summer (2019) Derek and Jess were out of nearly everything. Because there was nothing else left, they made these one day.
In no time, they were both falling down drunk, and extremely happy.
Since then, they’ve been a hit in this household.
Enjoy.
