Thirsty Thursday-Mom's Margarita

Can you believe we are already in May?!!  Weren't we just opening Christmas presents?  Now Mother's Day is almost here.  That means school is about to end and the summer will be here before we know it. 

Why not treat mom to a tasty little summer drink on Sunday?  I found this great recipe for pink grapefruit margarita.  Couldn't you picture mom sitting out on the porch, enjoying family time in this beautiful weather and sipping away?  I actually pictured myself right then and my husband making sure my cup never goes empty. 

You can use the link above for the recipe but I have included a grocery list to get you started.  Make sure to buy ruby red grapefruit juice.  It is sweeter and gives the drink it's pretty pink color.

Grocery List:
 1 cup of ruby red grapefruit juice
1/2  cup of fresh squeezed lime juice (about 4 limes)
1 cup of triple sec orange liqueur
3 cups of ice
1 cup of  silver tequila
1   lime cut in wedges, optional Kosher salt.

 

Be sure to treat mom like a queen this Sunday.  If you are a mom, take time for yourself.  Relax and enjoy the day because you will be back to the grind on Monday morning!

 

Hugs y'all,

Melissa



 





Thirsty Thursday- The Margarita Edition

With Cinco de Mayo right around the corner, how could I ignore margaritas?  If you caught the April issue of "Texas Monthly," it had a pull out poster with the margaritas at restaurants in the state.  Several recipes were also added on the poster.  There were some restaurants located in Houston (where we just happen to have a weekend road trip planned to this summer!)  Did you know that Lupe Tortilla in Houston has over 100 margaritas on the menu?!!  Yes, it's already on my list.

Well, since I can't travel anywhere this weekend to enjoy a great margarita, I thought I would compile some recipes I could make at home.

I love strawberries and just happen to have some in my fridge.  This margarita from the Cookie Rookie sounds really yummy.  To me, strawberries say summer is coming soon!! 

The fair is in town this weekend so I wonder if I could smuggle in a red solo cup of a cotton candy margarita?  I think this one could satisfy my sweet tooth.


The last margarita recipe I have from comes from Texas Cooking.  It's a traditional margarita on the rocks recipe.  I love that they recommend a Texas brand!!


So get out the blender and mix it up this weekend!  Make sure to grab some good Mexican food while you are at it!  I had previously blogged about an easy enchilada recipe back in March. 
Enjoy!!
Hugs y'all!
