Cherry Margarita (Ala FoodieBride)
"Can't wait to make these... 12/31/12"
- Ready In:
- 10mins
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Yields:
-
2 drinks
ingredients
- 1⁄4 cup lime juice
- 1⁄4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 24 cherries
- 3 ounces tequila
- 2 ounces orange liqueur (i.e. TripleSec)
- 2 ounces blackberry liqueur (optional)
directions
- Stir sugar and water together over medium heat, just until the sugar has completely disolved and the mixture is clear.
- Stir in lime juice and pour into a blender.
- Pit cherries and place in the blender.
- Add tequila, orange liqueur, and blackberry liqueur, if using. (I find the blackberry liqueur really punches up the "dark berries" flavor. Omit if you don't have a reason to keep a big bottle of blackberry liqueur around.
- Blend 15-20 seconds and pour through a fine sieve into a pitcher.
- Use a rubber spatula to work the mixture around, getting as much of the liquid out as possible.
- Pour the strained margarita over ice and enjoy.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
DH of 32 years & I are (most of the time) empty nesters, with 2 DD & 2 DS (ages 29, 27, & twins 23). Have lived in the Sioux Falls, SD area since 1984.
As the oldest daughter of a working mom, having to get supper started was the beginning of my love of cooking. Learning & experimenting with what to "throw in" is half the fun, and anyone who says they can't cook is really saying they don't have the patience or interest (IMHO)! ;-) Using fresh produce from the garden is absolutely my favorite thing to do - winter in South Dakota can get loooong with "cardboard" produce from the grocer. Having grown up in the service, we were exposed to lots of different cultural foods. With a mom who also loved to cook, variety & trying new foods was a true treat!
DD (grrrl genius) joined RecipeZaar at the same time I did, and she'd like me to get *all* my recipes uploaded and use the site, rather than my sending paper copies. We'll see how quickly I accomplish that !
