![]() ![]() You'll notice that in these photos I used Reposado tequila, and it is delicious! Reposado tequila is aged for anywhere from two months to a year in barrels prior to being bottled. You can absolutely use Reposado for margaritas, but you'll get that richer, aged taste. Blanco is not an aged tequila, like Reposado or Añejo, so it allows the flavors of your margarita to be the stars of the show. I always recommend using Blanco for margarita recipes, especially spicy margaritas. I mean, this one is obvious! I always prefer to make margaritas with Blanco tequila. It will be in the liquor section, where you would find triple sec or blue curacao. ![]() This wouldn't be an Italian margarita without amaretto! You can find this at any liquor store. Oftentimes, I prefer to add fresh orange juice rather than triple sec.Īmaretto. The amaretto and orange juice pair so well together, and I think fresh orange juice is a margarita must. Like any margarita recipe, you need fresh lime to add a bit of sour yet zesty flavor to cut the sweetness of the orange juice and amaretto.įresh Orange Juice.

If you haven't added amaretto to a margarita is delicious. I had a mix of margaritas, aguas fescas and fresh coconuts during the trip to the Yucatan – and of course a ton of bottled water because it was July and that meant it was hot, hot, hot.If you know me, you know I love a good tequila recipe. I usually reach for a Spritz, or as of late my Italian Greyhound has become a favorite, but I’ve been dabbling a bit into my Mexican food habits and while revisiting old photos from our trip last year, I was missing the taste of an ice cold margarita. Long weekends and summertime usually means that it’s time to cool off with an ice cold drink. If I close my eyes, I pretend that I’m sitting on the seaside in Liguria feeling the light mist of salt water hitting my face. I’m completely nostalgic, but we have a wonderful little background area at our home in Boston, complete now with some backyard furniture, some reclining lounge chairs, an umbrella and garden. Not hot, but warm – perfect temperatures if I put it so eloquently.Īs Italy has been opening up little by little, I’ve been enjoying seeing spring blooms, clear sea water, and people smizing (smiling with the eyes but this time behind a mask). I was born in Florida and there is ultimately one thing that will still remain in my blood, love of the warm sun. I was really getting annoyed with waking up to a cold house and constantly living in sweaters and pants. Memorial Day weekend is finally here in the United State and it also officially means that it’s the start of summer – FINALLY – I mean, we just hit 80 degrees this week and it feels oh-so-good. ![]()
