CSA margaritas!
after the last post, i got thirsty & i couldn’t wait to make my new favorite drink.
i must say, this isn’t my idea…my niece Nicole actually started doing this with our first CSA basket & i became quickly addicted to it as a result of my on-going love affair with Avanti Cafe’s margaritas…which are the closest thing to summer in a glass than you can possibly get.
how to make a CSA margarita:
tools of the trade:
oranges, limes/lemons (about 1 for every 3-4 oranges), knife, squeezer, tequila, pitcher, salt (optional, but works really well with fresh juice!), ice, zester (if you have one).
cut everything in 1/2 & squeeze the juice of about 10-15 fruits (a tall drink = 3 oranges) into a wide bowl (spilling = clean-up)
the batch in the picture made about 6+ good drinks (but we needed more lemons)
pour into a pitcher (good for straight-up oj), if you have a zester, make some lemon/lime zest and mix that into the pitcher. use an old lemon/lime on the rim of a glass and add the salt, pour about a shot of tequila into the glass fill another shot 1/2 with juice & fill will ice. MIX!
