We know Austin loves tequila, and enjoys Mexican beaches, and he's not alone. Jake has talked in his past about slipping away to remote Mexican locales (definitely more private than Cabo ahem). The tequila? Not sure. But know he's a fan of Grey Goose, and Wild Turkey.
The old saying goes liquor is quicker, but don't think these two need that anymore.
Another adage is "Liquor Before Beer" and it is the title of this collage by Austin artist Luke Foster. It's a one of a kind original collage on 24x36 masonite with a high gloss varnish finish. If you click on the picture you will spot the Wild Turkey, then look to your left and see if you can find the way all things connect. If you want to check out more of Luke's collages click here.
So got the turkey and tequila and now just throw in some legs and what do you get?
A good time. No doubt.
But here's one you can do yourself at home.
Cranberry and Tequila Turkey Legs
This is a great recipe for turkey legs. The combination of the cranberry juice, lime juice, and the chipotle peppers, makes this a delicious tart and spicy dish. Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 1 hour Total Time: 1 hour, 15 minutes Ingredients:
* 6 turkey drumsticks * 1 can cranberry sauce * 1/4 cup cranberry juice * 1/4 cup tequila * 1/4 cup lime juice * 3 chipotle peppers (in adobo sauce) minced * 3 cloves garlic, minced * 1 tablespoon lime zest * 1 1/2 teaspoons salt * 1 teaspoon parsley flakes * 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Preparation: Place drumsticks in a large Zip-Top bag. Combine cranberry juice, 1 tablespoon tequila, 1 teaspoon lime peel, 2 tablespoons lime juice, and garlic in a small mixing bowl. Pour mixture over drumsticks, cover, and allow to marinate in refrigerator for 2-4 hours.
Preheat grill for medium-high heat. Place remaining ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil and allow to simmer for 5-7 minutes. Remove turkey and place on grill rack. Discard marinade. Cover and allow to cook for 50-60 minutes. Brush with prepared sauce throughout cooking. Once turkey is cooked, remove from heat and serve.
Looks like Jake would approve.

Cinco de Mayo is not Mexican Independence Day (Sept 16th) but a celebration of Mexico's victory over the French in the Battle of Puebla on May 5th, 1862.
Happy Cinco de Mayo, or a better way to count today would be "One Tequila, Two Tequila, Three Tequila, Floor"
Cinco de Mayo is not Mexican Independence Day (Sept 16th) but a celebration of Mexico's victory over the French in the Battle of Puebla on May 5th, 1862. Celebrated regionally in Mexico, Cinco de May is celebrated in the United States and other countries as celebration of Mexican heritage and pride. And somewhat like St. Patrick's Day in the U.S. celebrating means partying, and the excuse to throw back Mexican beers or tequila and eat Mexican food.
Jake Austin Mexico
One lost their shirt, the other found a skirt and both found something to do break up the monotony of filming. While it's always Austin losing his shirt at a moment's notice, this time its Jake. Jake has lost his several times in various locales in Mexico, including his stay filming Jarhead, but most recently in Cabo San Lucas. Jake might have gone with a someone who brought a skirt that that trip, but it was Austin who found his there a while ago. "I actually have a skirt. I went on vacation to Mexico and I bought one just to wear while walking the beach. Just like a towel." (GQ) Sarong, so good.
And how do you break up the monotony of filming that would be enjoying a tasty beverage or Dos (Equis) or tres or ......
.....Timber....
But don't pull a Peter. While drinking with Jake when they were living in a Mexican hotel during the Jarhead shoot. "I had a couple margaritas... Jake started drinking beer at that point and I had some margaritas, maybe only two or three. And there was a thing that was like a fountain in the middle of the courtyard. We're staying at this not-very-nice hotel that had like a fountain and it looked like it could be a pool, but it was not actually a swimming pool. And he says I finished my margarita and I put it down and he said he was in mid-conversation with me and he said I just walked over to the edge of the pool and with all my clothes on, just walked into the pool and went underwater for a little bit and then came up and walked into my room totally wet. And he said he was in the middle of talking to me about something. So that actually happened, I realized, and I sortta blocked it out." (Filmmonthly) Blocks that out but not Jake playing "Candyshop" 50 million times.
Austin is no stranger to Mexico on either coast or borders growing up in Texas. Sure he found ways to break up the grind of filming Luz Del Mundo despite a much shorter shooting schedule than Jake's Jarhead.
You wonder if the J and A-team have made for the run for the border and not Taco Bell.
Speaking of tasty treats, wonder when leaving the Mexican surf, if Austin get a hankering for a Big Boy like he does when he finishes surfing in Malibu.
As for getting Nailed and celebrating - leave that to Pee Wee.
