Blood Orange Margarita

Well Beard & Bonnet friends, we made it through another week and it is finally Friday!!! I don't know about you, but I can feel the fall rush looming already and I must admit I am exhilarated because it is my favorite time of the year. When we left Atlanta at the end of the school year in May we had no idea how great of a summer was waiting for us and although it has been a fun ride we are all ready for the structure of the school year to get us back on track.  I think that of all of the past summers we have spent together as a family by far this one will be the most memorable for all of us. So to celebrate the final 2 ½ weeks before school starts here in Long Beach, Todd and I thought we would share our most recent cocktail obsession, Blood Orange Margaritas!! 

This past summer we saw a lot of places and savored a lot of Margarita's! We sipped southern style margaritas in Memphis, stellar margaritas in Oklahoma, and New Mexico style spicy margaritas in Santa Fe. We have tested margaritas infused with every flavor profile under the sun from pomegranate and ginger to green chile. They were all delicious although there were a few stand outs like the aloe and coconut water margarita Todd recently experienced in L.A.

We love a complex margarita when we are out, but when mixing margaritas at home we like to keep it simple and laid back. After all, the goal of a weekend cocktail at home is to enjoy the time together slowly sipping and savoring while catching up from the past week.  We don't fuss about the glass, we leave off the salt, and we stir instead of shake. Don't judge, just go with it, simplicity can be good and simple margarita's at home with the one you love is great! 

What is the best margarita you have ever had?
