Desert Margarita

Day 132

Desert Margarita

5 shots out of 5

Hello Tequila!  Tonight........we are friends!  

We are so very much friends that I just might make myself another of your fabulous Desert Margaritas.........and one for my husband too!  

Tonight I will be enjoying you and you add much to tonight's cocktail!

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

Tonight's Desert Margarita is QUITE yummy!!  

Husband agrees and is eyeing my cocktail right now.  

I never would have thought of the flavor of prickly pear in a margarita, but as of tonight I will be looking for them in restaurants.  

I have to admit the first sip.....I wasn't sure about, but then I gave it another sip and all of the flavors just worked.  

I think I had LIME JUICE on my mind because of how much of it I had to put in this cocktail and that's what threw me off on the first sip......I think I was expecting to taste a super lime flavor that I made myself believe that it was really limey.  

This is definitely a cocktail that I will be making again!

Here is the recipe for a Desert Margarita:

• 1 oz tequila
• 1/2 oz orange liqueur
• 2 oz lime juice
• 1 1/2 oz prickly pear syrup

In a shaker add ice, and all of the ingredients above.  Shake them up really well and strain your cocktail into a margarita glass.

Here's to a very enjoyable tequila cocktail!

Cheers!!

Roll Me Over

Day 119

Roll Me Over

3 shots out of 5

Only a couple more days until my Year of Cocktails will be a third over.  

I feel like I've made a dent in the world of cocktails.......but I do know that there are MANY more out there for me to try! I am so grateful for those of you who are taking this journey with me.  

Whether you are trying some, all or none of my cocktails and merely reading along as I take my adventure, I Thank You!  

I gave tonight's cocktail 3 shots out of 5.  

I think all of the different flavors just kind of blended together in this one.  

It's not a yucky flavor, but since you are supposed to put the exact same amount of all of the liquors and liqueurs in this cocktail.......it kinda tastes like none of them in particular.  

I will absolutely finish this one, but I don't think I'll be making it again anytime soon.  

So I guess roll me over to tomorrow night's cocktail!

Here is a photo of the end result:

Here is a photo of the ingredients:

Here is the recipe for a Roll Me Over:

• 1/2 oz light rum
• 1/2 oz dark rum
• 1/2 oz coconut rum
• 1/2 oz banana liqueur
• 1/2 oz orange liqueur
• 1/2 oz melon liqueur
• 3 oz pineapple juice

In a shaker, fill 3/4 with ice and add rums, banana, orange and melon liqueurs and pineapple juice.  Shake it up real good and dump the whole thing into a tall glass.

Here's to a big mix up of alcohol!!

Cheers!
