After making the blackberry smash two ways, I was inspired to try this with a margarita. So I’m making a blackberry margarita two ways! Same purée as the other and one muddled. I made this video back to back with the whisky smash. By the time I got to the margarita, I was feeling tipsy, haha! Not sure if I should be doing these back to back shoots anymore. Needless…
Autumn is my favorite season. Apple picking is fun, pumpkin picking is way better, but I’m mostly there for those apple cider donuts. I’m making apple cider cocktails two ways! We have a delicious autumn margarita, but I wanted to put another spin on it and try to use similar ingredients with two different liquors. A margarita is my go-to drink and one of my most requested cocktails when we’re…
I love that National Margarita Day is celebrated annually on the twenty-second of February. For the northern hemisphere, literally the weirdest time of the year, especially for a frozen margarita. But, here we are in February, perfectly timed with the remaining stragglers giving up on dry January. We’re celebrating with a Whipped Pineapple Margarita. This margarita is inspired by our trip to Disney World. Our hotel was the only resort…
Today I was in the mood for a margarita, but with an autumn twist. Something spiced and refreshing. There was a sangria we made a few years ago that I loved. It had apples, pears, and cinnamon. I wanted everything in that, but in a margarita. I ran to the grocery store, picked up some apple cider and pear juice, returned home, and shook up an autumn margarita. Like the…
It’s been a minute since we added a new margarita to our line up. We have Disney to thank for that. Yes, you read that right. We’re fresh off a Disney vacation and we cannot stop thinking about the rose gold margaritas we were sipping poolside at the Polynesian Resort. Overall, the food in Disney was meh. There were a few hits, but otherwise, it was not a great selection.…
Our boozy popsicles were a lot of fun to make. These watermelon basil margarita popsicles are based on one of our favorite margaritas. To be honest, this one is my favorite. For more boozy popsicles, check out this post! Heads up! You’ll want to make these the day before. The popsicles should sit in the fridge for about 12 hours to set. In need of a popsicle maker? Here’s the…
Make the star appetizer of your gathering, these Tequila Lime Shrimp with Margarita Pipettes! On a crisp and overcast October day, we gathered at a mansion in Connecticut for our last wedding in 2019. For the record, that feels like an eternity ago. It was a quintessential New England fall day. Up until this point, we had attended four other weddings and this was our wedding season finale. Cocktail hour…
Not sure if I’m sick of food from Thanksgiving, but I’ve had no interest in 1. cooking and 2. eating. The ‘no-eating’ part pairs nicely with margaritas—sarcasm! The only pomegranate margaritas we have are frozen, and I have no desire to wake up my son with the blender. It felt like I needed to throw together a holiday cocktail that wasn’t frozen. That’s how these cinnamon-spiced pomegranate margaritas were born.…
Thirty, flirty, and sleep-deprived. This week, Fatima and I say goodbye to our twenties and enter a new decade. I can’t say I’m not apprehensive about turning 30, but age is just a number, right? Fatima’s been wanting to try out grapefruit margaritas, so we’re celebrating this week with a whole tray of them. I don’t enjoy grapefruit on its own, however, Fatima said she’d snack on grapefruit sprinkled with…
We made it through the heat. On Saturday, we stayed inside most of the day. By four o’clock in the afternoon, our son had cabin fever. We sat in the window for a bit, but he did not want to leave. So we decided to take a walk around the block. Oh my gosh. It was hot AF. But not just hot, the air was humid, thick, and very, very…
Remember those peach margaritas? Well, we added in some basil and they were delicious. We used the basil-thyme simple syrup from the watermelon margaritas to make these peach basil margaritas. These were much more earthy than the last ones we made. The basil works really well with the peach juice. These peach basil margaritas are another one for the books. When we first whipped up the Marquisrita, I never thought I’d…
I know I say this every time I try a new margarita recipe, but I found my new favorite margarita. Well, maybe my new favorite for the summer. These Peach Margaritas are everything. As Fatima and I were testing out the ratios for this cocktail, I closed my eyes and I was transported to somewhere hot. Not just dry heat, but swampy humidity. I saw myself sitting in a rocking…
When a heat wave strikes, you must do anything you can to cool off. Being stuck inside with air conditioning gets old. So head outside with these watermelon basil margaritas to keep you cool. The last time we made watermelon margaritas was in the heat of late July in 2012. We were vacationing at my parents’ lake house and we could not cool off. Swimming in Lake Winnipesaukee worked, but…
The next Marquisrita is here and ready for you to try. This Elderflower Margarita has a bright taste of spring. While St. Germain is the obvious choice, I used elderflower cordial. We had a bottle from the lemon elderflower cake, and I wanted to experiment with cocktails. Lilies and Loafers has affiliate relationships, so we may get a small share of revenue from your purchases.

Wow. This rosemary ginger margarita may be one of my favorite flavored margaritas to date. Everything is beautifully balanced. It’s aromatic, flavorful, and you still taste the tequila. You know me, if you can’t taste the tequila, send it back. At work, we were having an appetizer and cocktails competition. Working in pairs, we had to make a delicious appetizer and pair with an equally delicious cocktail. The prizes were:…
Au Revoir 2016! As much as this year turned out to be a suckfest for the world, 2016 was pretty good to us: we traveled to London, moved into our new apartment, welcomed two nephews, celebrated 2 years of marriage, the Toys for Tots event raised over 5,000 toys, and I graduated with my MBA! Celebrate the good times of 2016 and welcome the fresh, new year with these champagne margarita jello shots!…
