What better way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo than with a collection of all things margarita! Kate at Hola Jalapeno has rounded up 7 days worth of margarita cocktail recipes and margarita inspired food recipes from food bloggers and influencers from all around the interwebs to bring you everything you could possibly need all in one place.  Be sure to swing over to Kate’s Margarita Week page and keep checking back because the list gets updated daily.  You won’t want to miss any of these delicious recipes.

My contribution is a Blood Orange Gose Margarita.  I was inspired by a Blood Orange Gose beer from Anderson Valley Brewing Company.  This beer is tart, fruity, and refreshing and in my opinion a perfect addition to this margarita (and magically delicious on its own).

Happy Margarita Week and have a fun and safe Cinco de Mayo celebration! Cheers!

Blood Orange Gose Margarita

Ingredients

  • Juice of 1 blood orange about 6 tablespoons
  • 8 ounces silver tequila
  • 4 ounces triple sec
  • 1 can blood orange gose beer
  • Margarita salt for the rim
  • Lime and blood orange slices to garnish optional

Instructions

  1. Combine blood orange juice, tequila, and triple sec in a cocktail shaker with ice and shake
  2. Pour some beer in a bowl and margarita salt in another bowl
  3. Dip the rims of two tall pint size glasses into the beer then the salt to coat
  4. Add ice to the glasses, pour tequila mixture over ice, top with remaining beer, garnish with orange and lime slices if using

NOTES:

  1. This recipe made two Blood Orange Gose Margaritas
  2. I didn’t use lime juice because this beer is a sour style gose and it’s a perfect balance to the sweetness of the juice and triple sec
  3. I used Blood Orange Gose from Anderson Valley Brewing Company – I usually stick to North Carolina breweries, but I also happen to really love Anderson Valley and we can actually get it here

White Hot Chocolate with Bourbon Barrel Stout Marshmallows

December 16, 2016 by rachelle 15 Comments

White Hot Chocolate with Bourbon Barrel Stout Marshmallows is an adult version of a classic winter warmer made with white chocolate and beer marshmallows.

 

Who wants to faceplant into some White Hot Chocolate and Bourbon Barrel Stout Marshmallows?

White Hot Chocolate with Bourbon Barrel Stout Marshmallows is an adult version of a classic winter warmer made with white chocolate and beer marshmallows.

As a former Assistant Public Defender, I’m always rooting for the underdog.  The forgotten and left behind.  I rooted for the Sweet Potato and the Sweet Potato Ale and now I advocate for the white chocolate in which to drown your bourbon barrel stout marshmallows.

The winter and holiday season has everyone making some hot chocolate or mocha coffee to warm up with while sitting by the fire in your cozy fuzzy slippers.  I’m here to tell you to put that down right now and turn your attention to some White Hot Chocolate.

Starbucks has nothing on this.

White Hot Chocolate with Bourbon Barrel Stout Marshmallows

Ingredients

For the Marshmallows

  • 1 cup cold beer divided
  • 3 packages unflavored gelatin
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar divided
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

For the White Hot Chocolate

  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • whipped cream optional

Instructions

For the Marshmallows

  1. Combine 1/2 cup beer and gelatin in the bowl of a stand mixer and set aside
  2. Combine 1 1/2 cups sugar, 1 cup corn syrup, salt, and 1/2 cup beer in a small sauce pan
  3. Cook over medium heat until sugar dissolves
  4. Increase heat until liquid boils, either heat until temp reaches 240 or boil for two minutes, remove from heat
  5. Lock mixer bowl with gelatin and water into the stand mixer, attach whisk, and turn on low
  6. Slowly stream syrup mixture into gelatin with mixer continuing on low
  7. Increase mixer speed to high and continue whipping until fluffy, about 15 minutes
  8. Add vanilla, whisk another 30 seconds or so
  9. Dust a casserole dish with 1/4 cup powdered sugar to coat, transfer marshmallow mix to dish, leave uncovered overnight - either in refrigerator or on counter
  10. Combine remaining 1/2 cup of powdered sugar with the cornstarch and sprinkle it all over a large cutting board
  11. Turn marshmallow square onto the prepared cutting board and cut into desired shapes, turning each piece to coat in the powdered sugar once cut

For the White Hot Chocolate

  1. Combine milk, vanilla, and white chocolate chips in a small sauce pan and heat on low until chocolate is melted, stir to combine and make smooth
  2. Pour hot chocolate into cups, top with marshmallow and whipped cream, if using

 

NOTES:

  1. As always, the recipes using beer are intended for adults only.  Please do not give alcohol to minors.  This recipe in particular does not have all the alcohol cooked out of it, which is a nice showcase of the flavor of this beer, but not appropriate for everyone.
  2. The marshmallows are sticky, but once you coat all sides with powdered sugar they are easier to handle.
  3. This recipe makes two 1 cup servings of White Hot Chocolate and the amount of marshmallows will vary depending how they are cut

S’mores Martini

July 20, 2016 by rachelle 11 Comments

Since we’ve already trashed this week by starting out with beer and donuts on Monday, let’s just keep going with some S’mores Martinis and just call it booze week.  You dig?

S'mores Martini

I don’t know about y’all, and I know I always say this, but I sure am ready for the weekend!  It’s been tough going over here with all this trying to eat healthy during the week ’cause I’ve been complaining that my pants don’t fit for approximately 9.467 months and haven’t done anything about it until now.

S'mores Martini

All I’ve been eating are salads and fish during the week and dreaming of the beautiful weekend of stuffing my face into donuts, boozy ice cream, and chocolate-y, sticky, gooey, marshmallow-y S’mores Martinis.

S'mores Martini

I gotta be honest here too.  I don’t even really love marshmallows.  It’s a texture thing.  But I’m serious as a train wreck when I tell you that when that stuff gets all melted and toasty I don’t know what in tarnation comes over me, but that stuff is DELICIOUS!  Combine it with some chocolate booze and I’m a goner.  No self control.  Zero.

S'mores Martini

If you’re not busting out of your pants and don’t have to wait until the weekend to have yourself some indulgent S’mores Martinis, I highly recommend you get your self to the booze store STAT then swing by your local Publix or Teeter for some fluff, marshmallows, and graham crackers or crumbs – I usually get those ’cause I’m totally lazy and usually in a hurry to get to the good stuff and not necessarily in the mood for graham smashing.  Although it depends on the kind of day I’ve had. Or how fast I need that martini in hand and down the hatch.  Sometimes a good graham smashing is good for the mental health.

S'mores Martini

Sigh….  Is it Friday yet?

  • 1.5 ounces heavy cream

  2. Coat edge of martini glass with melted marshmallow cream
  3. Coat the marshmallow cream edge of the glass with graham crumbs, set aside
  4. Add marshmallow to a parchment paper lined baking sheet
  5. Toast marshmallow under broiler 1-2 minutes, rotate and toast another 30 seconds to 1 minute, rotate again and toast another 30 seconds to 1 minute, remove from oven and let cool while mixing the martini
  6. Add 5-6 ice cubes to a martini shaker
  7. Combine Creme de Cocoa, Bailey's, vodka, and heavy cream to shaker and shake vigorously for 30 seconds or so
  8. Pour into prepared martini glass
  9. Garnish with toasted marshmallow

This recipe makes 1 martini with a small sidecar

Boozy Root Beer Float Popsicles

June 24, 2016 by rachelle 11 Comments

It’s Popsicle Week happy hour!

Boozy Root Beer Float Popsicles

You didn’t think I would end Popsicle Week without giving you a boozy popsicle, did you?  I realize that it may be early in the morning when this post hits the interwebs, but it is Friday and the last day of Popsicle Week.  Billy at Wit & Vinegar has hosted this party and you should seriously check out his website because this post almost made me blow beer out my nose.

Boozy Root Beer Float Popsicles

Speaking of beer, we used some boozy hard root beer in these popsicles.  You could substitute some regular root beer, but I don’t know whyyyyyy in tarnation you would want to do that.

Boozy Root Beer Float Popsicles

I know these boozy root beer popsicles aren’t quite as colorful as these or these, but I’m here to tell you that they’re just as delicious and totally festive for the popsicle party.

Boozy Root Beer Float Popsicles

And they even get all kind of foamy on top (or bottom?) just they way a root beer float (boozy or otherwise) does!

Strawberry Key Lime Margarita Greek Yogurt Ice Pops + 50 Summer Cookout Recipes

Strawberry Key Lime Margarita Greek Yogurt Ice Pops + 50 Summer Cookout Recipes

Strawberry Key Lime Margarita Greek Yogurt Ice Pops

 

Hi, y’all!  I’ve missed you!  My personal and professional lives got totally busy and complicated and I had to take some much needed time to make some decisions.  While I love this here website and all you fine and wonderful friends, I’ve been thinking for some time about cutting back on my twice weekly posting. Seriously, I don’t know how some of you with full time jobs manage to keep up with posting multiple times a week. My hat is off to all of y’all.

 

Strawberry Key Lime Margarita Greek Yogurt Ice Pops

 

So, I’m coming at you on a Wednesday with some boozy popsicles to announce that I’m going to be posting only one time a week at least for the duration of the summer.  I may also boycott all social media, but that’s a radical decision that has yet to be made.

 

Strawberry Key Lime Margarita Greek Yogurt Ice Pops

 

While I’ve said that I’ve been contemplating this decision for a while, it was this post from my friend, Annie that was really the turning point and helped me realize that I need to stop and smell the roses or take a moment to enjoy a sangria on the patio with my husband.  Or pet a puppy.  Or enjoy a boozy popsicle just because I happen to have an abundance of tequila and strawberries.

 

Strawberry Key Lime Margarita Greek Yogurt Ice Pops

 

So let’s get this summer season kicked off right now with some Strawberry Key Lime Margarita Ice Pops! We combined some strawberries, key limes, Greek yogurt, and of course, tequila and poured it all into an ice pop mold for a tangy, boozy, tasty, treat to beat the summer heat.  Not that we’ve had much of that around the Carolinas lately, but it’s on the way.  Trust me.

 

Strawberry Key Lime Margarita Greek Yogurt Ice Pops

 

Not only are we having some delicious boozy frozen treats on this fine Wednesday morning, I’ve got a bonus for you!  The Memorial Day holiday is upon us and that means the unofficial start of summer is next week, so it’s officially barbecue season ’round these parts! In celebration, I’ve teamed up with several fellow bloggers to bring you 50+ recipe ideas for a smashing summer shindig. See all the recipes for our Great Blogger BBQ below!

Strawberry Lime Frozen Margarita

Strawberry Lime Frozen Margarita

 

Strawberry Lime Frozen Margarita

 

I think Mondays deserve booze.

 

Strawberry Lime Frozen Margarita

 

I find it hard to believe that I’m alone with this opinion.  Who’s with me?  Strawberry Lime Frozen Margaritas for breakfast, anyone?  No judgments here.

 

Strawberry Lime Frozen Margarita

 

It’s the week of Cinco de Mayo and while I’ve shared Mexican Street Corn and Shrimp Tacos with Avocado Salsa, life just isn’t complete until we’ve had a few cocktails.  I’m up to my eyeballs over here in strawberries, so I decided that when life gives you strawberries, Strawberry Lime Frozen Margaritas are the way to go.

And I’m totally not joking about the amount of strawberries I have.  I planted one tiny little strawberry plant last year in my garden and now it’s taken over one of my raised beds. I have so many that I even stopped fighting the birds for them!  Needless to say, I have a lot of strawberry posts in the pipeline.  I hope y’all like strawberries!

 

Strawberry Lime Frozen Margarita

 

I’m keeping things short today.  Because….tequila and Game of Thrones.  ‘Nuff said.

Have a great week, y’all!
