We’ve almost made it through another Kentucky winter, which includes all four seasons around these parts. While in the homestretch, there’s a tendency to envision patio weather. If sipping tequila by the pool is part of that fantasy for you, the Tart & Sweet is a great addition to your bar repertoire. Smooth, sweet, sour and salty notes make this the perfect drink for warm weather – or even for dreaming of warm weather. If you’re looking to share a variation of this margarita with friends at home, multiply the recipe to make a pitcher.
Note: Lunazul tequila will be paired with tacos this month during Crave Taco Week (March 2-8). More than 20 participating restaurants will serve up special tacos at a special price. Visit www.cravetacoweek.com for more details!
