Have I mentioned how much I love Mexican food? Like maybe once or a hundred times twice?
And you know what goes great with Mexican food? Margaritas.
Interestingly enough, I have this thing about tequila. The “thing” being that I don’t really care for it all that much. Unless it’s in a frozen strawberry (or other fruit-flavored) margarita. I can’t do the plain, on-the-rocks thing. I don’t know, clearly I’m not a real margarita drinker.
But last weekend, I really wanted to be one. The weather was gorgeous–perfect weather for sitting out on the patio, firing up the old grill, and just relaxing–and since we were having fajitas, margaritas seemed like the next logical step.
I’m nothing if not logical.

I’m an on the rocks girl myself but my husband prefers his frozen. These sound great, I would have never thought of using orange marmalade.

The marmalade really gave it a nice flavor, without watering down the tequila! =)

You’re so lucky that you have a restaurant like that within walking distance! Then I wouldn’t feel so guilty about all the chips and salsa I eat! =)
This looks great and would go well with home-made tacos.
