HAPPY HOUR AT FELONY BAR

Since summer is around the corner, I thought I’d feature a refreshing recipe that combines two of my favorite things – cranberries and tequila!

PINK MARGARITAS

1 cup tequila

1 cup fresh lime juice

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1/2 cup orange liqueur

1/2 cup cranberry juice

Stir together all ingredients until sugar is dissolved. Serve over ice OR you can stick it in the blender for a frozen margarita.

I personally prefer to substitute simple syrup (sugar dissolved in water over heat) instead of the powdered sugar. You can make up the simple syrup in advance and you don’t have to worry about the sugar not dissolving. Simple syrup is great for making sweet iced tea or lemonade as well.
