The Perfect Refreshment

it's finally starting to feel like summer here in Jersey, which means it's time for a refreshing cocktail recipe, and this one happens to be one of my favorites - The Margarita. this is very simple to make, and it's made by the pitcher.

Ingredients:

1 Can Limeade from concentrate (large can)
Tequila (doesn't matter what brand)
Triple Sec

make the limeade per the directions on the can. after the limeade is made, fill up the empty limeade can with tequila and add that to the Limeade. then, fill the can up halfway with Triple Sec and add that to the Limeade/Tequila mixture. stir. pour over ice. drink!

the good thing about this recipe is that since it's made by the pitcher, it will always be waiting for you in the fridge (if you don't finish it the same night that you make it). you can have it for breakfast before you go to work, as a mid morning pick-me-up, maybe with your taco bell at lunch, or enjoy it as a happy hour drink later in the day. the Margarita is very versatile, light, and refreshing and can be enjoyed any time of day (of course, if you would like to keep your job, i would not recommend drinking the margarita with breakfast during the week, especially if you drive to work.)

chips, salsa, and a Margarita are the perfect starters to a nice summer evening.

happy mixing!
