I hated margaritas also until I discovered that 1) you didn't have to have them with salt and 2) frozen ones are sublime after racing a time trial on a summer evening.

What is a margherita pizza?

A thing of yumminess...fresh tomatoes, basil, and fresh mozarella. Simple, yet delicious! It's from the ONE gourmet place we have.

Yumm. I'm also a big bruschetta fan.

Lemon drops are fun. Our local beverage store, suitably named "Beverages and More", has all the fun colored sugar and syrup. Oprah had half a show devoted to these things, which I happened to catch.

Good thing!

Mmm, someone here is a lemon drop lover- I'm sure she will come out of the woodwork!

Lemon, Lime, sometimes Orange.

snap loves her citrus. Plus, I get that vitamin C, so it's healthy, right?

What are caipirinha and caipiroska?

(Sounding suspiciously like Danish "snaps" to me!!!)

Brazilian dear, Brazilian.

Caipirinha (kai pee ren yah) is a Brazilian cocktail made from cachaça, limes, sugar, and ice. In Brazil, it is served in most restaurants, and is considered a characteristic drink of the country. Its simplicity and tangy sweetness have made it popular all over the world, and it is considered by the IBA[citation needed] to be one of the 50 greatest drinks of all time.

The word "caipirinha" is the diminutive of "caipira". Although the word itself can be either masculine or feminine, the drink is referred to in the feminine in Portuguese, and thus could be translated as "little caipira (country) girl".

A caipifruta is prepared in the same way, replacing or complementing the lime with any other fruit (always fresh, never juices). Popular fruits include passion fruit, kiwi, lemon, pineapple, and strawberry.

A caipiroska or caipirosca is a caipirinha made with vodka instead of cachaça, and is also a popular cocktail in Brazil.

What is cachaça? I already love the drink- I can tell- I love lime.
