RaspberryLOVE Margarita for #Berrylove blog hop

For last month’s #Greenslove hop, I went to my new copy of the big green Gourmet  Today cookbook.   (Oh, how I miss Gourmet magazine—sorry, I have to say that every time it is mentioned.)    This month’s blog-love theme is #Berrylove.   So, for this month’s blog hop, I decided to revisit that great green book and search for a berry recipe to share.

It didn’t take long.   On page eighteen I found “Raspberry Orange Margarita.”   SOLD!

RaspberryLOVE Margaritas

Here is my take, inspired by that recipe.

You will need…

RaspberryLOVE Margarita

2 c. frozen raspberries (unsweetened)
1 c. orange juice
1 c. white tequila (100% agave)
1 T. agave nectar
mint for garnish

Place all ingredients (except mint) in a blender and puree until smooth.

Pour into glasses and garnish with mint.

NOTE:   If raspberry seeds give you problems, strain this mixture before you pour into glasses and serve with ice.

Link up your own #Berrylove post this month and share that bloglove.  Everyone is welcome to link up berry recipes any time this month…the only rule is that they must be from an April 2012 blog post.

Again, thanks to Lizzy at That Skinny Chick Can Bake for posting a great raspberry pie recipe for this hop and reminding me to get on the #Berrylove bandwagon!

    I sure could go for one of these right now. I love the fruit. I like to freeze it when it is in season. That stuff is expensive if you buy it out of season.

      And, it really works better if the fruit is frozen.

      I wish I could host a cocktail party and invite you all! (Is it Friday yet?)

    Sounds very yummy! I’m sorry I forgot to ask you how you weathered the tornadoes! I remember last time you cracked me up with a photo of your “storm damage” and hope that you didn’t even have a chair turn over this time. 😀

      We had no tornado (or earthquake damage) thank goodness! 🙂 Glad you didn’t suffer any damage.
