The last week and a half has seen an onslaught of posts regarding diet and nutrition. Most of you have been pretty good sports about it and I think it calls for a bit of a reward. At first, it may seem like Paleo removes a lot of fun out of life but I’m here to tell you that just ain’t true!
NorCal Margaritas are my favorite addition to the list of Paleo-approved treats. Much like the Zone/Paleo diets and gluten-free beers, we’d never encourage you to try something we haven’t already tried ourselves. A few of us have been partaking in the name of science carefully tabulating our results. After countless studies, we’ve concluded that if you’re going to enjoy a little bit of boozing, NorCal margies are the way to go! Much easier recovery time in stark comparison to that of a beer-soaked episode.
“NorCal Margarita”
- 2 shots of GOLD tequila
- juice of 1 lime
- splash of soda water
Rinse and repeat responsibly.
P.S. This recipe is courtesy of the awesome folks at CF NorCal, however we’ve been brainstorming in an effort to develop a South Bay Margarita while staying within Paleo boundaries. Post your ideas (ingredients) to comments.
WOD – 7.29.09
20-15-10-5
Pushups (on rings if 20 strict are easy)
V-Ups
Squats
3 shots of tequila on the rocks. Yup, thats how we do it at CFSB.
JACK AND WATER…BE A (CAVEMAN)
Still brainstorming for something we can brand as SoCal but I researched a few recipes (mostly Jack) that are Paleo friendly:
Jack Hammer – half Jack, half gold tequila and slam
Bull Breaker – in a large glass, add ice, 3 shots Jack, 1 shot tequila, add water and serve
Double Jack – 1/2 shot Jack Daniels, 1/2 shot Yukon Jack in a shot glass (ok, so this one isn’t completely paleo because Yukon Jack is a honey based canadian whiskey liqueur but doesn’t it just sound yummy???)
Mexican Clit – 1/2 shot tequila, 1/2 shot lemon juice and slam
More recipes can be found on http://www.webtender.com or http://www.drinksmixer.com. On webtender, you can input items you currently have (Jack, tequila, lime/lemon juice, etc) and it will give you a list of drinks you can make.
Also, if I must sacrifice myself and be the gunea pig here, i’d be more than willing to take one for the team!

Avelyne, that’s very selfless of you to volunteer to be the guinea pig! Yukon Jack is just as allowable as Jack Daniels since they’re both whiskeys and have no carbs or other lectins, such as gluten, due to distillation.
