Popping in for a quick moment to share an awesome cocktail you may want to try this weekend. Or, tonight! :)
We have a VAT of premade margarita mix in our fridge. The bottle is huge. It just tastes so generic, so I've been experimenting around with ways to snazz it up a bit.
Last night I muddled some fresh blueberries at the bottom of a glass with a small dash of simple syrup. On top of that muddled goodness, I added a shot of tequila and ice and then filled it up with the mix. The mint from our yard added a nice minty flavor to this blueberry lime margarita.
So very easy, and you could sub different muddled fruits and herbs for different tastes. A rosemary peach margarita maybe? Or a cilantro pineapple margarita!?
Bottoms up!
I really like tequila but can't do margarita mix anymore. Yuck! (and way too many not-worth-it calories!) I drink it with a little fresh juice (orange or grapefruit) and a squeeze of lime, or with ginger beer and lime juice. I haven't ventured out into herbs with my tequila but do love gin-grapefruit-rosemary and vodka with basil/mint/etc.! Cilantro would be awesome with tequila I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so good!!! I actually have some leftover tequila and margarita mix from this weekend, I might have to try it!
