To kick off a festive mood of fun in the sun – there is no better mix than lime juice and tequila.  And while I don’t believe it’s possible to get “sick of” (“sick on” maybe) margaritas, it is always nice to mix it up.

As we all know I love a fun drink – the more involved the better.  Muddled cucumber? Check. Blood Orange Juice? Yes please. Unfortunately, my unique cocktail taste has most dive bar bartenders scratching their heads/hating me, so this drink is my go to when I am trying not to be high-maintenance.
