I love a good cocktail, and margaritas are at the top of my list! I like my margaritas fresh, unsweetened, shaken over ice in a short glass with a half salt rim. Can you tell I’m a bartenders dream… kidding.

The thing I love of this particular margarita is the twist of adding pineapple juice. It’s delicious and totally customizable to your taste. I love to sip on this with my favourite Mexican food. Chips, salsa, guacamole, tacos, enchiladas and fajitas.

Margarita Sangria

by Leave a Comment

It’s been so hot here this summer. I remember going on vacation to the Okanagan to get these kind of temps as a kid. I’ve been living on our deck with a cold drink in hand.

This has become my new favourite summer cocktail. It’s light refreshing and not too sweet. It’s a hybrid of my two favourite adult beverages margaritas and sangria. And since it’s Friday I’ll be whipping up a pitcher.

This sangria has orange, lime and strawberries. The fruit is soaked in tequila and rosé to infuse the drink with a sweet fruit flavour. I then serve the sangria over ice and top with soda for a hint of fizziness.

What’s you favourite Summer drink?
