Moon-a-rita

Day 210

Moon-a-rita

5 shots out of 5

Happy Wednesday!  

It's sooooo hot in this house that I needed a frozen cocktail for this evening.  

Then I came across The Style Dossier blog from a pin on Pinterest.  

There has been photos of this beer & margarita creations EVERYWHERE and when I found this one, it just sounded amazing.

I gave tonight's cocktail 5 shots out of 5.  

HOLY YUMMY COCKTAIL!!!!!!!!  

Stephanie came up the street to try tonight's cocktail and I had my husband try it as well when he got home.  

2 thumbs up from all 3 of us!  Great job Katy with your Moon-a-rita!  

This is a super yummy cocktail.  

The mixture of the margarita ingredients along with the beer, 

WOW, I didn't imagine they would go together so perfectly!

Here is a photo of the end result:

Here is the recipe for a Moon-a-rita:

• 1 oz tequila
• 1/2 oz triple sec
• 1/2 oz sweet & sour mix
• 2 oz mango puree
• 1-12oz beer (I used Blue Moon's "Summer Honey Wheat".....hence the name "Moon-a-rita")

In a blender add 1 cup of ice and all of the ingredients above, except the beer.  Blend it all up until the ice is completely gone.  Pour your cocktail into a large goblet sized glass that will hold a beer bottle inside of it (without it falling out), leaving about 1/3 of the glass empty.  Open up your beer and submerge the head of the bottle into your cocktail.  Be sure to hold the beer bottle along with your glass when you drink it, otherwise your bottle will either fall out or bonk you on the head!

Here's to FINALLY making one of those beer & margarita cocktails!  Yeay!

Cheers!!

Blue J

Day 139

Blue J

4 shots out of 5

Well let me just start tonight's blog out by saying, Happy Birthday To Me!  

I like all kinds of beers, but recently my husband decided to enhance the orange flavor of a Blue Moon and add orange juice to it.  

Quite clever I must say!

I gave tonight's cocktail (or beertail if we're keeping score) 4 shots out of 5.  

The orange juice definitely does enhance the flavor of the beer.  

Now this won't work with just any beer.  

There are 2 that I know of (and I'm sure there are more, if you know what they are, please comment below so that I can be on the lookout for them) that have an orange flavor in them which are Blue Moon and Shock Top.  

If you like either of those two beers and enjoy the orange flavor of them, try putting a little orange juice in them, who knows, you might like it!

Here is a photo of the end result:

Here is a photo of the ingredients:

Here is the recipe for a Blue J (totally made the name up myself):

• 1 bottle of Blue Moon
• orange juice

In a tall beer glass, pour entire beer (unless your beer is going to fill your glass to the top, then give yourself 1/2 inch room for the orange juice).  Fill the top 1/2 inch of your glass with orange juice.  Stir and enjoy!

This combo is NOT a science, I have tried it with more orange juice then that and I didn't like it at all.  My advice is to add a little, stir and try it to see if you like it "as is" or want to add more.

Here's to another year of life and a year of cocktails!

Cheers!!
