When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. But what do you do when life (or more accurately, overzealous grocery shopping) gives you dozens of leftover strawberries? Well, you still make a tasty beverage, but this time, you spike it. With a bottle of wine. And some triple sec. And tequila. You make Strawberry Sangarita,…
Strawberry Dragon Fruit Margaritas
I’m drinking Strawberry Dragon fruit Margaritas today for a few reasons: I’m celebrating the fact that I finally am feeling well enough to function like a real human being after a month of mystery illness. Please say I didn’t just jinx myself. Speaking of jinxes (or Jynxes, I guess), I started playing Pokémon Go along…
Caramelized Pineapple and Jalapeño Margaritas
My birthday is 2 weeks before Cinco de Mayo, yet it took me nearly 26 years to realize that throwing a combination party stocked with salsas and overflowing with margaritas would be right up my alley. Apparently, it is also right up the alley of far more friends than I ever thought would RSVP, and now the…
Blueberry Pineapple Margaritas
Is it just me, or are you also gasping at the fact that it’s May already?! Wasn’t it just Christmas? I’m still getting used to writing “2015” on things. Still, I’m not complaining. May means beach-worthy weather is on the way. May means longer days of sunlight. May means Cinco de Mayo, and oh my Mexican-food-loving stars, do…
Tequila Lime Chicken Sandwiches with Guacamole and Chipotle Mayo
When I go out to eat at a casual restaurant, there’s about a 75% chance I’m going to get a chicken sandwich if there is one on the menu. It’s only 75% because sometimes I like to “broaden my horizons”, or whatever you’d like to call it. But the truth is I could get chicken…
Breaking Bad Blue Margarita (with Blue Salt and Blue Ice Chips)
With the Breaking Bad season premiere coming up this Sunday, you probably need something to sip as you and your friends gasp at the TV. If you’re looking for drink inspiration for your premiere party, it’s about time you break out those bottles and get mixing! You don’t need your chemistry set to come up…
Creamy Margarita Popsicles
They always say you should write about what you know. Well, I know how to put alcohol in anything. I learned a lot in college. Because I couldn’t decide on a major for the longest time, I took classes in pretty much every subject out there. Everything from linguistics to psychology to art have been in my arsenal…
Coco Pina Margarita
I have my first sunburn of the year, everyone. It’s not of the same, near-watermelon pink fate that my boyfriend’s poor skin endured, nor the kind that leaves uneven strips of ghostly white where sunglasses or tank top straps once rested. Still, it’s there. Just barely. Really I do mean just barely, but there’s…
