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

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!
