ParticipantRum and Coke. 2 ingredients who love each other very much. 1 can of coke to a count of 10 on the rum is nice. Count 5 for breakfast and 15 when in Mexico.
I love Bacardi Anejo for these.

“Daily Drinker” Margarita.
Many try to upgrade their margarita by using expensive tequila, like Don Julio or Patron. Others try to make margarita cocktails by reducing the mix. If you want to, go ahead, but that just isn’t right. Expensive tequila is nice for sipping or shooting but are wasted in a margarita.I like basic ingredients, properly propoprtioned. It is the ratios, not high-end ingredients that make a good margarita.
Go for 3 parts mix (like Jose Cuervo or make your own from lime and simple syrup), 1 part triple sec, 1 part mid-grade tequila.
You can drink them all-day long and not spend a fortune. Bump up the tequila and triple sec as high as 1.5 parts each if you like a stronger mix.
I always go “on the rocks” with salt.

Lemon Drop
When made w/ fresh lemons, this is an awesome drink.Make a simple syrup from equal parts water and sugar.
Sugar the rim of a glass
Mix 1 part simple syrup, 1 part vodka, 1 part pure fresh lemon juice. Shake hard with ice. Pour into glass.Really, really good.

Been making mules lately, as well. Still experimenting with ratios. These require Bunderburg Ginger Ale (nothing else will do) – we get it from World Market.
1 part vodka, 1/2 part lime juice, 3 parts Ginger Ale. Drink on the rocks.

Zombies and Scorpions are nice. Hard to find a good one.
Mai Tais at Bali Hai are very strong and very good.

I had a drink – forgot the name – at Seersucker downtown that had toasted wheat in it. Was exceptional. Probably too sweet for most.

ParticipantER – what an awesome post. One of those Piggington gems. I feel like an expert now and I’m not even considering this.

ParticipantIt’s tough to find a place large enough in Clairemont on a canyon lot that is for sale. Although the lots are big, the people who have added on are staying put. Also, the canyon lots go up for sale so rarely, you are kind of forced to buy the lot regardless of the house that is on it.
It likely is cheaper to buy it pre-built (which means don’t expect to get a return on the investment) as brian says, but adding-on may be the only way. The alternative is wait a long time for the right place, then lose it to a higher bidder.
The big builder here is K-Co. They did our first remodel project. I consider them honest and fair. They are not the cheapest – above average cost but not over-priced. I think all things considered, they are a good option if you don’t have “do it yourself” tendencies like I do. Consider having your builder leave the walls ready to paint and ready for flooring and do that yourself.
Add-ons are not too painful in Clairemont, as long as you have the builder deal w/ the permits and such.
Adding on without plumbing is significantly less expensive than adding anything with plumbing, too. Throwing on a game room or bedroom is cheap. Adding master bedroom w/ bath or changing the kitchen is CHA-CHING.
If you want to wait about 3 years, you can buy my place …

Participant[quote=Fearful]Wow, this is unreal. Is this LA Times article about the one and same development? http://articles.latimes.com/1992-08-27/news/vw-6593_1_canyon-homes
“There was no market research behind Shaw Lopez Park, only passion. The developers are not going to the bank for a construction loan. They are putting up their own money to build the first three homes. When those sell, they will build the next batch.”
How’s that working out for you, hippie boy?[/quote]
Wow. That article is 9 years old.
