I tried this new Mexican place Saturday night while my family was in town. We just happened to be walking by outside when the "Best margaritas in town!" sign caught our eye. Well, we'll just have to see about that! So, we walked in, snagged a table, and after several minutes of perusing the menu, I decided to forgo the margaritas and see about maybe getting me some sangria. The waiter came by and I ordered one glass of it and to my surprise, he didn't card me. Slightly saddened that I'm starting to look over the age of 21 more and more these days, I ate some chips and salsa and watched the new meximan in full mexi regalia take to the stage.

Ten minutes later, the waiter finally brought our drinks and set before me is not the usual wine glass filled with violet colored deliciousness with little pieces of fruit floating on top, but a HUGE, at least 10 inch tall glass filled with what looks to be Cherry Coke. Now...I've had a lot of sangria in my day, and NEVER has it looked like this. But when the waiter set it in front of me, he said Sangria, so I thought maybe this was a new version I had just not been privy to before.

I took a sip and it tasted NOTHING like sangria. It tasted like, well, Cherry Coke. Though I knew that wasn't it. I was just totally baffled wondering what in the heck he brought me when it hit me. It WAS sangria...Sangria flavored SODA that is. I couldn't believe it. It all of a sudden dawned on me that the waiter didn't think I looked over 21 at all. It was just the opposite. I guess I looked way too young to him and the thought to card me probably didn't even cross his mind! And so obviously he brought me sangria SODA! Oh, I just laughed and laughed.

By the way, sangria soda is really gross. Just FYI.
