Hot weather and cool Mexican drinks!
Wow! The weather is really heating up and I just finished mowing my lawn. I need something cold and refreshing! So, I'm sitting here with a glass of tap water trying to decide which drink I want to make to quench my thirst.
I could whip up a pitcher of sangria. But I'm home alone right now and the odds are good that I'd drink most of it myself and be too inebriated to make dinner later.
Or, I could make a Cranberry Margarita. That would be nice and refreshing and if I make just one I'll still get some more work done before the day is gone. Yep - I think that's what I'll do.
Gotta go - there's a cranberry margarita calling my name. Oh...here are the recipes:
Sangria
8 oz apple juice
8 oz orange nectar
2 oz Triple Sec or other orange liqueur
24 oz red wine
Fruit (lemon, orange, strawberries, cherries – as desired)
Juice of 1 lime
Juice of 1 orange
Mix all ingredients together in a large pitcher
and serve over ice in a tall glass.
Cranberry Margarita
2 lemon slices
granulated sugar
1 1/2 oz tequila
1 oz orange liqueur
1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
2 oz cranberry juice
ice
Lay the sugar out on flat saucer or plate.
Rub the outside rim of a margarita glass
with 1 lemon slice and roll the outside of the glass rim in the sugar.
Combine the tequila, orange liqueur, lemon and cranberry juice with ice and shake in a cocktail shaker
. Strain drink into margarita glass.
Garnish with lemon slice.

Why don't you try melon water!!! It is so refreshing I love to drink it with lots of ice specially in those sunny days. By the way i don't strain the drink to keep the nutrients. But prepare it as you like it the most!
