It's time once again for The Weekender. This is our departure into the world of hedonism, random topic excursions, whimsy and (hopefully) knowledge. Thanks for listening and, if you happen to get a chance, feel free to call us or e-mail and send us some feedback. Tell us how we're doing. We'd love to hear from you.
Heat oven to 375°F. Make and bake drop cookies as directed on pouch. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. In food processor, process half of the cookies to coarse crumbs. Remove to medium bowl. Continue to process remaining cookies to coarse crumbs; add to bowl. Stir in melted butter until well blended.

Tequila Sunrise
Ingredients
2 ounces (4 tablespoons) tequila
4 ounces (1/2 cup) orange juice
3/4 ounce (1-1/2 tablespoons) grenadine syrup (purchased or homemade)
Ice (try our clear ice!)
For the garnish: Cocktail cherry, orange slice
Directions (Cocktail)
Fill a highball glass with ice. Pour in the tequila and orange juice and stir. Pour the grenadine into center of the drink and it will sink to the bottom. Stir gently for sunrise gradient effect. Garnish with an orange slice and cocktail cherry. This drink is sweetly straightforward. If you are a fan of sour cocktails, add a squeeze of lime to add more of a tart flavor. A dash of orange liqueur like Cointreau can give it a little more complexity. You can also make a Tequila Sunset by substituting blackberry brandy for the grenadine. Make the drink with vodka for a Vodka Sunset, or try a Malibu Sunset using Malibu Coconut Rum. Here’s the key to how to make a good tequila sunrise: buy a good tequila! A cocktail is only as good as the alcohol you use. Look for a mid-price range tequila, since the price is typically an indicator of quality. You can use either tequila blanco (“new or not aged) or tequila reposado (aged) in this cocktail recipe. Since it’s a pretty straightforward beachy drink, we went with tequila blanco here. But, it would be even more interesting with tequila reposado: it adds subtle notes of vanilla and oak.
