Mom’s Wicked Margarita

February 22, 2014 By Betsy Cohen

Desserts Required - Mom’s Wicked Margarita is appropriately named because moms everywhere deserve a drink this wickedly delicious.  An easy cocktail sure to please a crowd.

Mom’s Wicked Margarita   #NationalMargaritaDay

When blogging friend, Heather Schmitt-Gonzalez, from Girlichef posted that she was having a National Margarita Day party, Mom’s Wicked Margarita was created!

‘Created’ is not completely accurate. With a couple of friends to give me feedback, sip after sip, Mom’s Wicked Margarita was shaken to perfection.

Many people have very strong opinions on margaritas. Some insist that they are blended to a slushy consistency while others insist on serving their drinks on the rocks.

Mom’s Wicked Margarita does not fit into either group. I think it is due to my love of martinis that I opted to serve my margaritas shaken, not stirred or blended. You can certainly pour it over rocks, if you choose, but why water down this perfect concoction?

Let’s face it, when one combines tequila, Chambord, Grand Marnier and Rose’s Lime Juice together, something magical happens…and I do not mean after two or three drinks! Not too sweet and not too ‘pucker-up’ tart.

I chose the name, Mom’s Wicked Margarita, because moms everywhere deserve a drink this wickedly delicious.

Mom’s Wicked Margarita is sure to be the hit of everyone’s National Margarita Day. If you were not ready for this auspicious holiday, don’t worry. You can still drink margaritas every other day of the year.

About Betsy

Happylicious By Betsy December 2015 lo res I have loved desserts for as long as I can remember. Growing up I loved the smell of freshly baked challah in my maternal great-grandmother’s kitchen, the incredible butter cookies from my paternal grandmother and the perfect pies my mother used to bake when company came over.
