It's Margarita Week, y'all.

*Looks around*

Oh, and it's about to be Cinco de Mayo. Would you look at that coincidence (not really a coincidence, lol).

The daylights savings has started, the days are getting nice and long and it's regularly over 85 degrees daily.

Oh, and the daily 3 pm thunderstorms have returned.

Ah, hurricane season.

You deserve this margarita. Just because it's hurricane season. Or so I've been telling myself every time I grab the blender. Literally had a tornado touch down in the next town over the other day. Oi!

I am not a bad-weather type of girl; I just started liking rainy days!

I've lived in Miami throughout my teenage years, and now that I've returned, I realize how important drinks are to the culture.

In Atlanta, letting my son toddle in the yard and sipping an Arnold Palmer was the thing to do.

In Miami, if someone is outside their house, they either have a bottle of their beer of choice and/or a margarita or mojito. It doesn't matter if they're just talking with neighbors, they're enjoying the weather, they're at a toddler's birthday party, wherever. It's too hot not to have a drink. And in the summer, you're looking at heat indexes around 110 degrees...

For some reason, I don't remember the temperatures being this hot when I was a kid!

This margarita, which I call the Miami Sugar Baby, because it's pretty, it's sweet, it's tropical, and it's very, very Miami. And trust me, there are a lot of sugar babies in Miami!

I use frozen strawberries, frozen mango, and frozen peaches, which help keep the need for ice down (and not watering the drink down) along with my strawberry syrup, which is optional, but I love the extra strawberry taste it gives, but you can use agave nectar or a regular simple syrup. I've also used frozen pineapple, guava and frozen papaya in this as well, and let me tell you something!!!

Somethings you need to try. This is one of them.

I've been drinking this on the patio after dinner, and let me tell you...I get why everyone is drinking cocktails around here. It's just the culture. It sucks you in, and soon enough you are watching soccer on a tv in your patio, drinking cocktails, and playing dominoes.

Don't believe me? Just come to Miami, you'll see.

    Ohhh, that isn't average! Love your fruit choices and I need to make this.

  3. Margaritas are not usually my drink of choice, however I think this recipe could definitely change my mind on that! I'm loving all the frozen fruit in it - sounds delicious for sure!

  4. I have most of the ingredients in my pantry so just the tequila and the liquor and I am sorted 🙂 Love the flavors here!

  6. I love the name, I love the color, and I know I would love the taste, too! I need to visit Miami 🙂
