With Crave Taco Week – Smiley Pete Publishing’s inaugural taco-centric culinary week – on the horizon, we’ve tapped on our friends at Heaven Hill to provide some favorite taco-friendly margarita variations, designed to summon warmer weather. Citrus is known to elevate the mood during colder, darker months – and our research shows that tequila tends to have the same effect.
Each recipe makes one margarita but can easily be multiplied for pitchers with friends. Imbibe responsibly – and enjoy!
La Piña Margarita:
• 1 1/2 ounces Lunazul Blanco tequila
• 2 ounces pineapple juice
• 1/2 ounce lime juice
• 1/2 ounce orange juice
PAMAsita:
• 1 1/2 ounces Lunazul Blanco tequila
• 1 ounce PAMA (pomegranate liqueur)
• 1/2 ounce lime juice
• 1/2 ounce simple syrup
Method:
To a shaker, add ice and ingredients for the individual margarita (either La Piña or the PAMAsita). Shake vigorously for five seconds and pour over cocktail glass full of ice. Garnish with fruit.
