Orange Juice Margarita

 

Today just wouldn't be right if we didn't share a yummy margarita recipe. But really, when aren't margaritas in season?! 

We've been known to share a twist on the original margarita a time or two, but this Orange Juice Margarita has been topping the list lately. Plus it's got all that extra vitamin C, and isn't that what the CDC is suggesting what we do with our lives right now. 

So really drinking this margarita is kind of, sorta of healthy. So here's to all of our health. 

And May 5th. 

And the invention of tequila. 

ORANGE JUICE MARGARITA RECIPE

INGREDIENTS

- 1 52oz bottle of orange juice (We use Indian River Select juice in the original flavor. Blood Orange is a great alternative for a tangier flavor!)
- 1 cup of tequila 
- 1/3 cup of Triple Sec
- 1/3 cup of lime juice
- Optional: orange slices for garnish
- Optional: salt or sugar for rim

INSTRUCTIONS

1: Cut orange into slices.

3: Mix orange juice, tequila, Triple Sec, lime juice together in a pitcher. Stir and then serve cold.

Frozen Strawberry Margarita Recipe

I don't know about the rest of you, but this time of year is CRAZY!!!  Between end of school stuff, PTA obligations, end of season stuff for sports and then just regular life stuff I feel like my head is spinning.  BUT, the weekend is almost here and that means one of our favorite holidays is also almost here.

Cinco de Mayo is this Sunday and you better believe we are going to be celebrating with chips, salsa, queso and lots of our favorite cocktails...margaritas!!!

We love a good classic margarita recipe, but also love trying some fruity twists.  This frozen strawberry margarita is SO delicious.  Perfect to make ahead and serve if you have friends coming over and it hits the spot on a hot day.

This is a super simple recipe that you can make with any regular old blender and just a few ingredients. We're sharing the full recipe over on Savvy Sassy Moms today so head over there to check it out!

Cocktail Confessions: Peach Raspberry Margarita Recipe

Okay, remember that yummy Frozen Peach Raspberry Sweet Tea we made last week? Well...I decided to give it a little twist. It was so mouthwatering that I thought it would also make a great base for a cocktail. Mr. Cute agreed, and we staged a little taste testing to come up with the best combo.

Rough job, right?

After trying a few different combinations we landed on an out of this world recipe for a Peach Raspberry Margarita. Originally we thought vodka would make for a great addition, but it just didn't have the "bite" we were looking for to differentiate it from the base drink. Adding a little tequila to transform the drink into a margarita? A whole new level of yummy.

It's super easy to make, and when hosting a summer gathering it is easy to make both the original recipe and the alcoholic version little extra effort.

HOW TO MAKE PEACH RASPBERRY MARGARITAS

Serves: 6-8

Prep Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

- 4 cups of Sweet Tea
- 10 oz of tequila
- 6 oz of triple sec
- 1 cups of raspberry juice
- 1 cup of peaches, sliced
- 1 cup of ice cubes
- 1/3 cup of raspberries
- Optional for garnish: granulated sugar

Directions
1: Place peaches and ice cubes and blend until diced.
2: Add sweet tea, raspberry juice, and raspberries. Blend until smooth.
3: Add tequila and triple sec. Blend until well mixed.
4: Pour into pitcher.
5: Optional: Rub rim of margarita glasses with peach slice and then dip rim into saucer with sugar.
6: Garnish with fresh peach slices and raspberries.
7: Serve and enjoy immediately.

It's seriously so yummy this might be one of my new go-to drinks for the summer. I'd have to break up a little bit from my true summer love - the poptail - but this Peach Raspberry Margarita is a close favorite.
