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.

- sugar
- ½ cup tequila
- ¼ cup raspberry liqueur (such as Chambord)
- ¼ cup orange liqueur (such as Grand Marnier)
- ¼ cup Rose’s Lime Juice
- raspberries, optional
- Dip the rims of the glasses in a bowl of water and then a bowl that has enough sugar to coat the edge of the glasses. Set aside to let the sugar set.
- Place ice cubes into a martini shaker. Add the tequila, raspberry liqueur, orange liqueur and lime juice. Cover and shake. Shake some more.
- Pour the drink into the prepared glasses and add a few raspberries to garnish.

The flavor combo in your margarita sounds fabulous! There is no better way to test margaritas than with a bunch of friends!
Sarah,
I couldn’t agree more. True friends are willing to hang out and taste drink after drink until it is perfect and wickedly delicious! 🙂
That does look like a magical margarita, cheers!! Happy Margarita Day!!
Tara,
Thanks so much. Cheers to you, too!
I have officially made up my mind to buy a bottle of Chambord this weekend (probably today…so I can celebrate in a timely manner)! These sound wicked good. 😉
Heather @ girlichef,
Thank YOU for hosting such a fabulous virtual party!! You are, truly, the hostess with the mostess!!
Yes, Mom’s Wicked Margaritas are wickedly delicious and you MUST get a bottle of Chambord today! 🙂
A wicked margarita is the only way to go! Chambord is one of my favorite liqueurs. This margarita sounds wonderful! Cheers and Happy National Margarita Day!
Danielle,
Thanks so very much. Hope your holiday is wickedly great!
YES! Every mom needs to sip on one of these to celebrate the end of the week! Love that you added Chambord…mmmmmmm.
Liz,
Mmmmmmmmm is right and we moms deserve something wickedly delicious!!
Aptly named! And, after the week I had, I definitely need one of these! Thanks for sharing on National Margarita day.
CulinaryCam,
Thank you for stopping by. Sit back and enjoy a drink!!
hahaha LOVE your video!!! You make it all look so easy 🙂
Samantha @ Ferraro Kitchen,
It IS so easy!!! Thanks for checking out my video! 🙂
Love this technique! I love my margaritas on the rocks but now I’m rethinking the shaken method!
Hezzi-D,
Thank you much. I do love my drinks shaken!!
Shaken margaritas are the best!
Leslie Limon,
I agree! 🙂
I love the idea of the raspberry liqueur in it!
Pam,
The raspberry liqueur ROCKS…or, in this case, SHAKES! 🙂
Love the name and the fact that yours is shaken, not stirred! Yummy!
Renee @ Kudos Kitchen,
Thanks so much. Shaken, not stirred, is beyond wickedly delish! 🙂
Chambord sounds like a great addition!
Julie,
Chambord is such a decadently delicious liqueur. Quite versatile, too.
I love the name you chose for this drink, Betsy! All the liquors and flavours you used here are delicious! Happy Margarita Day to you.
Gotta Get Baked,
Thanks so much! I had a great time celebrating National Margarita Day.
Loved your Margarita Cake, too! 🙂
You have to have created this for me. The only thing I love more than Grand Marnier is Chambord. I frequently have one or the other in a cocktail or recipe but I’ve never thought to use them together.
And I like most of my Margaritas cold but not slushy. I’ll be trying this recipe today.
Baking in a Tornado,
Great minds think alike!!! 🙂
I love the name of your drink! And it sounds so simple and delicious! 🙂
Julie,
Thanks so much. Mom’s Wicked Margarita IS so simple and delicious!
Nothing more sublime than chambourg and grand marnier — let it rip!
Cathy,
I am with you all the way! 🙂
Love this! Why fuss with ice when it’s great as is?
Ashley @ Big Flavors from a Tiny Kitchen,
I couldn’t agree more! I do not want to water down one drop of Mom’s Wicked Margarita. 😉
Wicked indeed! Great combination of flavors, love the chambord addition!
Susan,
Thanks so much! I do love ‘wicked’! 🙂
Although I’m not a big drinker I do love Grand Marnier frozen yogurt AND anything that comes out of the Desserts Required Kitchen =)
Kim a/k/a The Ninja Baker,
You are so sweet. Thank you so much!!
I missed this day! Glad you had it covered for me! Looks delish! 🙂
Jasey,
Great news…you can make Mom’s Wicked Margaritas any day that ends in ‘y’!! :-)))
Why water it down indeed! This looks wonderful, Betsy! Serves two – four. Ha. 🙂
Stacy,
Great minds think alike…two – four OR one! 🙂
That is what I’m going to need later today! It sounds perfect <3
Kathy,
What patience you have to wait for the end of the day! 😉
