Raspberry Lemonade Margarita.

last week i posted {via instagram} a pic of a raspberry lemonade margarita and blew people's minds! 
margaritas go beyond the basic one made with sweet and sour mix and tequila. gag! i like real ingredient margs! none of this pre mixed stuff. 
b and i have perfected our margarita recipe and enjoy them frequently. since we didn't have all the ingredients we typically use, we used what we had and came up with a Raspberry Lemonade Margarita that is delish! 


Raspberry Lemonade Margarita 

2 oz. Silver Tequila

1.5 oz of Cointreau + a little for a floater

4 oz of Limeade (we use Simply Limeade but any fresh, NOT frozen will do)

2 oz of Raspberry Lemonade (we use Simply Rasberry Lemonade, but any fresh, not frozen will do)

1 oz Sprite

Cut limes for garnish

Salt for rim of glass

Combine all ingredients in a shaker, shake and pour! 

Super easy, good and perfect for the summer months ahead!

 *drink responsibly people. drinking and driving is no bueno!*

Cocktail Hour. Margarita Style.

Who doesn't love a good Margarita?

I am forever on the hunt for a good "marg" and one that is not made from a Sweet and Sour Mix. Nothing like paying 5 dollars for a plastic cup full of a mix that smells like bathroom cleaner!

We have had Margaritas all over LA and in between! Our favorites being in Cabo. So naturally we were on the hunt to find the perfect Margarita that can be made on the rocks, with out a pre made mix and that can make a big batch for parties!

After many trial runs, the hubs and I have perfected a Margarita to our liking and here it is.

You're welcome in advance!

The Mom List Margarita

2 oz. Silver Tequila

Combine ingredients in cocktail shaker, shake it up, and pour!

Cheers!

i do not condone excessive drinking of alcohol. this is simply for fun and for my blog. i was not paid for this post but if any of these companies above want to give me a life time supply of their stuff i am ok with that!
