Good morning my loves!
To be fair, I already hate pants. I don't wear them. Well, I didn't until I moved to Toronto and let me tell you - it is much, much too cold to wear tights year round.
And socks make me angry. My feet want to be free. Free I tell you! Free!
And frankly, bras suck. Anyone who can't really get away with not wearing one in public will agree with me here. Am I right, ladies?
Yup, if I had it my way I'd be pant-less, bra-less and bare footed all the time. So really, running around half naked because of tequila isn't that much of a stretch.
Seriously though - if you want a little more of that, check this shit out. Plus he ain't too bad to look at. At all.
What does all this rambling about nakedness have to to do with today's post? It's Secret Recipe Club (SRC) reveal day!
This month I was assigned a blog called Eliot's Eats - a couple with a flare for the arts and a passion for travel. Naming your cat after T.S. Eliot has got to count for something, yes?
I selected their RaspberryLOVE Margartia for my recipe. In the dead of Winter - with the wind blasting the garbage cans down the road and every little snow flake slapping me in the face with a great big middle finger to the heavens as they bluster past - a few frozen raspberries and one tequila, two tequila, three tequila, four seemed like a good idea. And it was.
....Until my clothes fell off. Brrrrrrr.....
*I subbed honey for the agave nectar because I had it handy and threw in a little triple sec because why the heck not?
RaspberryLOVE Margarita
(printable recipe) - serves 2....or one very ambitious person.
Ingredients:
2 C Frozen Raspberries.
1 C Orange Juice.
4 Oz White Tequila.
2 Oz Triple Sec or other orange liquor.
1 Tbsp Honey.
1 Lime, cut into quarters and slit in the center of the flesh.
Mint for Garnish.
What to Do:
Place all the ingredients in a blender, save for the mint, and blend until smooth. If desired, strain to remove seeds.
Pour into fun glasses, garnish with mint, a big fat wedge of lime and serve.
Bottoms up, my friends.





Hilarious, hilarious, I tell you! Glad you got EE as an assignment this month. It is too cold here to even think about frozen margaritas (or running around half naked!)
ReplyDeletethat's what fire places are for, silly! ;) and big fat blankets. that being said, might as well put clothes on at that point.
DeleteThanks for the smile! Stay warm and enjoy your cold drinks :)
ReplyDeletethank you Melissa! will do. of course.
DeleteThis post was laugh out loud funny!! Hopefully no one at work noticed. I, too, opt for a bra-less and bare foot state of being, Minnesota-winter-be-damned. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteaw thanks Monica! stupid winter - spring will come round again soon :) and we'll all be half naked and loving it!
DeleteHa! I love that song. My friends and I joke that it's my anthem =o) Me and tequila sometimes isn't a good thing apparently. Your drink looks amazing! Going to try it for sure!
ReplyDeletethanks Erin! fabulous anthem to have!

DeleteI think I remember this one from Debra's blog! YUM! And ditto that for the video. Wow. I've heard the song but didn't know who sang it, or that he was so young...and hot! lol Joe Nichols has a new fan.
ReplyDeletehe is such a babe.
DeleteI am happy to report that after one VERY bad night with tequila just over a year ago now (actually, it was a GREAT night, but a terrible day after), I can finally stomach the stuff again. I love the vibrant color and the lovely raspberry flavor of this bevvie - must try!
ReplyDeletethank goodness! funny how ONE bad night (or terrible day after) can put us off something for so long. glad you're back on the tequila train! choo choo!
DeleteLOL, I hadn't watched the end of the video when I commented. Hilarious!
ReplyDeletehaha - love me a little Joe Nichols.
DeleteTequila or not, I just like to run around naked. Oh, what the neighbors must think. And I'll take one large Margarita please.
ReplyDeleteLOL. nakedness is next to....being alone. at least in public.
Deletelol I'm sorry but how does one NOT click through with a SRC title like that? I'm pulling up a chair and will have one as well, bartender ;).
ReplyDeletethat was the point! :) i'll mix one up for you anytime christine!!
DeleteYup, you got my attention! Love Deb's blog she's so real. It doesn't matter how cold it is, some tequila will warm you right up, clothes or not.
ReplyDeleteagreed, rhonda. and who doesn't need a little warming up?
DeleteLooks like I know what I'll be drinking on Friday!
ReplyDeleteha - let me know if you love them chelsy!

DeleteWhat a great post! Great recipe too!
ReplyDeletethank you Teri!
DeleteWhat gorgeous margaritas! Your posts always make me smile :) And as someone who really can't get away with not wearing a bra in public, well, I totally agree with what you said ;)
ReplyDeletei'm so glad i'm not alone. not all women can understand. and strapless dresses = big fat no no as well.
DeleteIs it terrible to want one of these at 8:30 on a Tuesday morning? They look soooo refreshing!
ReplyDeletenot even a little bit.
DeleteI love Debs sit and who doesn't love a great margarita? Yes socks suck! I cant getaway without wearing a bra in public. It is scary and I would not want to subject anyone to that.
