Some like it Hot....

Sometimes, you just need some down-home barb-b-que and good strong tequila to unwind.
.

I'm Portuguese, so it's in my DNA to love spicy food, but my fiance is on a whole other level when it comes to an affinity for heat. He's not happy unless there are tears streaming down his face and fire shooting from his nostrils.

We have some good friends who also enjoy psychotically spicy foods. So, whenever we meet them for dinner, we hit a place known for suicide-hot wings in West Bridgewater, Mass. called Chili Head BBQ Co.

Chili Heads also has a long list of quality tequilas (100% agave) to choose from, which makes for excellent margaritas (and shots) to wash away the burn.

Last night, I had margarita(s) with Patron Silver, Cointreau, and lime juice over ice. I always go with clear liquors like Patron Silver, because there is far less sugar in clear liquor than in brown liquor.

Also, if you are in a place that doesn't make margaritas from scratch and uses some type of mix, ask them to cut the mix with club soda (the "SkinnyGirl Cocktail" style).

It makes perfect sense because most margarita mixes are full of sugar, and that means calories and hangovers! No, thank you.
