Some friendships are built over coffee. Sandra Bullock and Jennifer Aniston‘s friendship, on the other hand, apparently comes with a very strong margarita.Bullock has revealed that Aniston makes a margarita so “potent” and “fierce” that it can, in her words, “knock you on your ass”. And after hearing the description, their mutual friend Nicole Kidman made it very clear that she wants an invite too.The whole thing came up while Bullock and Kidman were promoting Practical Magic 2. During a questionnaire, Kidman asked Bullock about her go-to margarita recipe.Bullock could have simply shared one.Instead, she immediately pointed to Aniston.“I don’t do it, but a girlfriend of mine makes a very potent, fresh one,” Bullock said.Naturally, Kidman wanted to know who this mysterious friend was.“Which one? Which girlfriend?” she asked.“Jen,” Bullock replied.Kidman wasn’t exactly surprised.“I knew it,” she said.And that’s when the margarita story really took off.Jennifer Aniston’s margarita apparently comes with a warningAccording to Bullock, Aniston has a “heavy pour”. She uses fresh limes and shakes the drink until it becomes frothy.Bullock didn’t hold back when describing the result.“It is fierce,” she said, before explaining that the margarita is so good that it has also left her feeling the effects the next day.“Anytime I have suffered, it’s been at her hands, but it’s so good,” Bullock joked.At this point, Kidman had clearly heard enough.“Jen, you got to invite me over,” she called out.And honestly, who wouldn’t want that invitation after hearing this?Kidman is already friends with Aniston, so this isn’t exactly a random request. It sounds more like she has just discovered that one of her friends has been hiding a very good margarita-making skill from her.
Aniston likes her margaritas simple
Interestingly, Aniston has previously said that she prefers a much simpler margarita.She has described her version as a “cleaner margarita”, without sugar, sweet mixes or agave. Her basic combination is silver tequila and fresh lime juice, shaken and served over ice.She sometimes adds Cointreau, depending on the mood.So the ingredients themselves aren’t particularly complicated.It’s apparently the pouring that’s the problem.Bullock’s “heavy pour” comment may explain why Aniston’s version has developed such a reputation among her friends.
Their friendship has lasted for years
The margarita story is funny, but Bullock and Aniston’s friendship goes much deeper than cocktails.The two actors have been friends for more than 15 years, after meeting at a wedding and hitting it off.There’s also a slightly unusual Hollywood connection between them. Both women dated actor Tate Donovan in the 1990s. But instead of allowing that shared history to become awkward, they became friends.Bullock has previously spoken about how women in Hollywood were often encouraged to compete with each other.“We were from that time in the business where no one wanted the ladies to be friends – it was about pitting everyone against each other,” she said.Meeting Aniston changed that for her.“We were just like, ‘Oh my God, we need to meet and cut loose,’” Bullock recalled.And they did.
Bullock clearly treasures the friendship
Bullock has spoken warmly about Aniston on several occasions, and there’s a reason their friendship continues to get attention.She has described Aniston as someone who makes people feel welcome and included. Bullock has also praised her for the way she brings joy and positivity to the people around her.That makes the margarita story even more fun.Because underneath all the talk about tequila and fresh lime is something much more relatable: a group of friends who have known each other for years, spend time together, tease each other and apparently have a few very good stories to tell afterwards.Aniston’s friendship circle is famously close-knit, and Bullock has made it clear that she feels lucky to be part of it.Now Kidman appears to be making her own case for a seat at the table.And considering Bullock’s warning about the margaritas, she may want to make sure the next morning is free before accepting that invitation.For now, one thing is clear: Jennifer Aniston’s margarita has officially received the Hollywood seal of approval from Sandra Bullock.And Nicole Kidman wants to taste it for herself.
