refreshing frozen margarita on a hot summer day? Tequila is the perfect liquor to mix into your favorite fruity cocktails this summer. Be creative, try this raztini, it is delicious. Enjoy!

St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated by the Irish and Irish at Heart in big cities and small towns alike with parades, “wearing of the green,” music and songs, and Irish food and drink. Its a time for fun. Some communities even go so far as to dye rivers or streams green! Nothing reminds me more of the Irish than a four leaf clover! Enjoy!
Four Leaf Cloverita
2 oz. Cabo Wabo Reposado Tequila
½ oz. Grand Marnier
2 oz. Rose’s Lime Juice
Garnish with a lime wheel or Four-Leaf if you’re lucky
Pour Cabo Wabo Tequila, lime juice and Grand Marnier into a mixing glass half filled with ice. Stir well and strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a lime wheel.

The big game is coming up and as always, that entails a great day of football, food and fun. Oh yeah, and that means cocktails as well. I 
know, we’re all a little disappointed the Viking’s didn’t make it, however, I say, pick a team and party! Either way, it is a great excuse to have a few cocktails, and pig out on some awesome finger foods! I hope no one is offended, but, I am cheering for the Colts, only because the Saint’s are the ones who killed our dreams!! So, Go Colts!!!
