A Cruel Trick.

So Utah has very particular laws regarding the sale of alcohol. We were, of course, aware of this, though ignorant of the details. But coming out of totally dry Navajo country, we figured nuance was better than nothing. And so it was. The hefeweizen in Glendale was lovely, so we were looking forward to getting to Cedar City and an actual cocktail.

We found a little Chinese restaurant that looked good, but they didn't even offer beer, and in fact told us that no restaurants in town offered beer or wine. We put this down to a communications error and set off looking for anther place to eat and drink. A very attractive Mexican restaurant beckoned. As we walked in there were signs for margaritas! And bottles of tequila!

Licking our chops, we asked for the tequila list, and they had one of our favs: Patron Reposada. Two shots, please.

Well, you saw it coming, even if we didn't: no shots, only mixed drinks, which means pre-mixed neon-green margs, one of our pet peeves. Had one anyway. Regretted it.

What a cruel trick!
