A Tasty Twist on an Old Favorite

Today I was getting ready to put together a quick margarita and relax for a few minutes when I decided to mix up the usual recipe and change the flavor spectrum just a little bit. Instead of 1 oz. of Triple Sec, I went for a jigger of Malibu. Now I know that Malibu is crap, but the wife enjoys it sometimes when she chooses to have a cocktail. So my whole recipe goes a little something like this:

2 oz. Tequila (I use Cuervo Gold in mine. There's no sense burning up the really good stuff in a Margarita. Save that for sipping or shots!)

1 oz. Malibu Rum

6 Ice Cubes

2 oz. Margaritaville Mix

Splash of Orange-Pineapple Juice

Fill with Limeade (I use Simply Limeade, for what that recommendation is worth.)

Shake the Hell Out of All of It and Enjoy Repeatedly. Makes for a lovely evening on the deck enjoying the warm spring weather.

Give it a shot. Tell me what you think.
