Strawberry Margaritas

April 24, 2011 2 Comments

It’s the weekend, the weather is 82 degrees and sunny, and I’ve just been treated to a delicious sushi buffet for lunch. Could my birthday get any better? Yes, but only if you throw in a pitcher of freshly blended strawberry margaritas (and a nap)!

Tequila and I never used to be friends. But, that’s probably because my first experience with it was at a frat party where some guy poured lime juice into a solo cup full of Jose and said “here, have a margarita.” I took one sip and immediately spat it back into the cup. Yuck.  Never again.

But, because I never wanted to drink tequila after that, I never got violently sick from it — Jose and I never “broke up,” so to speak. Vodka? That’s another story…but I digress. Anyway, the upshot is that when I decided to give tequila another chance years later, I could face it without having a visceral reaction (like my friend Brad). I still can’t drink it straight, of course…I prefer my Jose to be mixed with sugar and fruit, and frozen if possible. Luckily, there’s a big jug of The Cuervo on top of my fridge right now, as well as a fresh carton of strawberries waiting to be eaten/blended, so when I got a craving for a fruity beverage I knew just what to do. Strawberry margaritas!!! So delicious and refreshing on a hot day like today. If only I had furniture on my balcony…

    Oy! Somehow a strawberry margarita sounds fantastic but the word "tequila" still makes me shudder a bit in my throat. One too many bottom-shelf shots in my more reckless days…
