how to make birthday margaritas


One of the highlights of this upcoming weekend for me will be homemade margaritas, as it is my birthday tomorrow and I am planning to indulge!

I'm looking forward to a girls night out tonight, with lots of tapas and dancing, and Steve has a surprise for me on Saturday which I'm excited about. On Sunday we are visiting the city of Lincoln for the day; it's so beautiful. It has the best of both worlds, as it has shops and scenery!

Just in case you fancy sharing a cocktail with me this weekend, here is our recipe:

35ml/1 3/4 fl oz Tequila
20ml/3/4 fl oz Cointreau
35ml/1 3/4 fl oz fresh lime juice
handful ice cubes
lime wedge, to garnish

Pour the Tequila, Cointreau and lime juice in a cocktail shaker.
Add a handful of ice cubes and shake vigorously.
Strain into a cocktail glass with half the rim dampened with water, then dipped in salt.
Add a lime wedge on the rim to garnish.

Enjoy!

What are your plans for this weekend? I hope you all have a good one.

    1. Thanks so much Sarah, I've just had my birthday breakfast! Eggs Benedict, my favourite! It's been a busy week at work for me too, we went on a school trip to the theatre on Wednesday which was good fun. I'm on the countdown!
      Have a lovely weekend. xx

    2. What did you see at the theatre? We have a trip to the beach soon! Think I'm more excited than the children! xx

    3. We went to see Horrible Histories - Terrible Tudors. The second half was 3D, it was really good. I'd love to go to the beach on a school trip but it's quite a way for us. You will love it, I hope the weather is good for you. xx

  6. Looks great. Will have to try this recipe. And Happy Birthday!
