7608. Have a margarita flight

 After volunteering at and checking out the Tall Ships, I met up with Kris for a drink before making my way home. We decided to go to Beanies for margaritas. All the swings were taken so we just sat a table in the bar. 

While I was at Tall Ships, I picked up a flyer that offered $5 off a flight of margaritas. I knew I couldn't drink an entire flight by myself and still be able to drink. So we decided to split the flight. 

A flight at Beanies includes 4 blended 5 oz margaritas.. lime, strawberry, swirl, and prickly pear. Since I don't care for strawberry Kris took the strawberry and swirl and I had the lime and prickly pear. We also shared some chips.

Prickly Pear is amazing and even tastes better when you can actually taste it. This would be my go to margarita if I had to pick.. probably followed by peach or mango.

The lime is like any traditional margarita. It was good but not my favorite.

Both of them did not have strong tequila flavors. I am not a huge tequila fan which is why I prefer my margaritas blended.  

Sharing a flight was a great way to end the afternoon before I headed to Sheboygan for ice cream. I guess I kind had a progressive dinner experience except I kind missed the whole entree portion. Hmm.. that gives me an idea for another adventure when I go home in the future.. Drinks with one friend, dinner with another, dessert with a third. Who's game???

4955. Sit in the swings at Beanie’s in Port Washington

 When I saw that Beanie's Mexican Restaurant in Port installed swings at the bar, I wanted to sit in them. Sitting in a a swing at restaurant is always an adventure. The only other time I did it was when I was in Costa Rica at work.

Because it made sense to stay over in Saukville the night before cookie baking weekend, Kris and I decided we needed some girl time. We decided to grab an after work drink. Initially she suggested margaritas at Tellos. I suggested since we were having margaritas, let's go to Beanies. 

When I got there, she already snagged a table and I asked if we could sit in the swings at the bar instead. She agreed and we hopped on the swings and had ourselves a margarita while catching up.

Beanie's has a wide range of margaritas. There were several that looked good. I opted for prickly pear and Kris went with Sunburnt Senorita, which also sounded good. They also have a margarita flight -- 4 margaritas (original, strawberry, blended, and prickly pear). One margarita is enough for me. Not sure I could do a flight.

Now before you chastise me for getting a drink at a bar during a pandemic, I just got over it and Kris (and her husband) was comfortable with meeting me for a drink. When we arrived, there was no one else in the bar area. We both were masked except while actively eating or drinking. When another couple came and  sat at the bar, they left a swing between us. Even the swings kept distance between Kris and I probably more so than sitting at a table.  The bartender did not hover behind the bar while we were seated. We probably were in there an hour and felt very safe. 

I would definitely go back and try another margarita. The swings are a definite must do. No I didn't fall off but after another one, sitting in a swing could probably prove difficult.
