Margaritas

easy-margarita-recipe

Today is a day for church picnics and beach BBQs, for slip-n-slides and bounce houses. It’s a day for chopping, slicing and dicing, for marinating steaks, and for packing food into small containers and big ice chests. It’s a day to cram kids into third row seats, drag sand into cars and lick ice cream from wrists.


And when it’s all said and done, it’s definitely, definitely, an evening for margaritas.

This margarita recipe comes from my sister who introduced it to us on our last famiy trip to Maui, in February, to celebrate my 42nd birthday (gasp!). It’s sweet and it’s sour and it’s perfect in its simplicity…and so potent you’ll need to watch yourself.

Or not, depending on your day. Let’s drink!

Weather notes: 73 degrees, slightly overcast & muggy

    The easiest margarita recipe I have ever seen – my former mother-in-law made something like this using rum instead of tequila – and blended with ice instead of water. Happy Summer!

      Liz – this margarita would also work well blended over ice, you’re right! xoxo

    […] from the Food52 community. While I didn’t make the dressing – mixing up a pitcher of margaritas took priority over finishing the salad – it was a great salad nonetheless. Crisp juicy […]
