Hi Guys! Happy Thirsty Thursday!
I could surely use one of these margaritas right now since the internet and cable are down at my house for 24 hours while we are doing an update and it is making me LOSE MY MIND. I am even posting this from a coffee shop after the kids are in bed like I am in the dark ages of technology because even our hot spots aren’t working in the house. So yes. Margaritas.
And these are not just any margaritas- these are EXCEPTIONAL!! Weird, but exceptional. It is like a classic marg with extras! OR you could look at it like it’s a margarita-sangria type situation with all of the yummy cilantro, jalapeno, lime and cucumber slices floating in the glass. They aren’t enough to overwhelm the drink, I think that they just sort of infuse the margarita- a little spiciness from the jalapeno slices, a refreshing flavor from the cucumber and then there is the cilantro, which is an unusual but particularly tasty addition!
I am making these on Facebook Live on Friday at 1pm PT – JOIN ME!!! (I have a lot going on today during my normal slot- check my instagram feed for all of the action tomorrow evening) just in time for the weekend and I can’t wait to serve them up to friends! Cheers!
