Strawberry Orange Margaritas
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.
- 6 ounces tequila
- 6 ounces sour mix
- 2 ounces triple sec
- 2 tablespoons orange marmalade
- 1 cup (or s0, just eyeball it) strawberries, washed and hulled
- ice
- In a blender, combine liquids, strawberries, and marmalade, and pulse to combine.
- Add ice--about three handfuls, or so--and mix until desired consistency is reached.
Happy Friday–have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

10 EASY SLOW COOKER MEALS RECIPE BOOK
Hello There!
Interestingly enough, I didn’t grow up with an interest in cooking. In fact, I informed my mother on multiple occasions that I was not getting an advanced education so I could spend my evenings preparing meals.

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.
Terry recently posted..Chorizo Quesadillas
The marmalade really gave it a nice flavor, without watering down the tequila! =)
WhooHoo!!! The yard looks great! Oh and so does the cocktail!!!
Chandra@the plaid and paisley kitchen recently posted..Mini Easter Whoopie Pies
I can’t resist a margarita!! What a great idea to put some orange marmalade in it for some flavor!!
Lauren @ Girls Gone Food recently posted..Foodie PenPals Guest Post
YUM I need this and some Mexican food right now!
mmm, looks awesome! i was just thinking that i didn’t feel like cooking tonight – maybe we’ll walk to the mexican restaurant instead!
amy @ fearless homemaker recently posted..no-bake chewy chocolate chip granola bars
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.
Michelle recently posted..Opry Mills Mall Returns
Ooooooh girl, you’re speaking my language! Should I win this Mega Millions, can I fly you out to California to be my personal bartender?! You make such beautiful and DELICIOUS drinks!! This looks AMAZING right about now…
Hayley recently posted..The HUGE Easter Roundup
Yes, yes you can. And wait ’til you see the one I have planned for next week! =)
What a great drink for summer!! I never thought to put marmalade in a drink, it sounds good! Just wanted to let you know that I am awarding you the Versatile Blogger Award today on my blog. Have a great rest of the weekend!
