Natalie & Christopher in Germany

Hey there!

We are Natalie and Christopher. We blog about life in the suburbs of Orlando, FL with no kids and one dog. Thanks for checking in.

Everyone loves a good Margarita


I don't do a whole lot of drinking. I get super tired when I drink adult beverages, which leads to falling asleep  in the middle of parties, it's not pretty. But when I do drink you better believe I'll be drinking a margarita. There is just something about that beautiful shaped glass, rimmed in salt, filled with limey, tequillay goodness that makes my heart smile.
Because I love margaritas, I have had my eye on this recycled glass pitcher and margarita glass set from Crate and Barrel for quite some time. the only reason I hadn't purchased it sooner was because in the apartment we had NO space for any fun extra kitchen things. Now we have a kitchen with empty cabinets, so woooo hoooo!! Watch out Crate and Barrel here I come! 

This is how I make margaritas at home. I'm sure there are way fancier ways and probably half decent mixes out there, but I'm a simple DIY kind of girl. 


Put some ice in a fancy recycled glass pitcher. Really any pitcher will do, I used to use a $2 plastic one from walmart until I ruined it in the dishwasher... oops.


Gather your ingredients. I forgot to get the Citron in the picture, so pretend it's hiding behind the orange juice or something. 


Combine all of the stuff to taste. I don't measure this. It's not an exact science. It's all personal preference. Stir it up, salt your glass and serve. 

It'd best with a giant bag of tortilla chips and a giant bowl of salsa and a friend or two.

And pretty please, drink responsibly!
