What better to shake off the effects of a crappy Monday than with the perfect Happy Hour cocktail?  If you want the flavor of tequila but not the "knock-you-on-your-ass" kick of a Margarita, try this!

Tequila in the Tropics

1 1/2 ounces blanco (white/silver) tequila
1/2 ounce Cointreau or Patron Citronge
1 1/2 ounces pineapple juice
Splash of lime juice
Club soda

Fill glass with ice.  Add tequila, Cointreau pineapple juice, lime juice and stir.  Top with club soda and gently stir again.

Pretend you are in the tropics...far away from the office, and enjoy!
