Pink Drinks.....

For Mother's Day I had a few simple requests........

1. A house full of flowers. Check.

2. Simple homemade gifts only (Covered in spilled hot chocolate and worms, of course!). Check.

3. A whole day of sun, spent in the garden, with our family: cleaning, tidying, planting, and swimming(?!). Check.

4. A Backyard BBQ. Homemade salads. Tastes of spring. Check.

5. Time with my kids, not being responsible for my kids. Check: Jamie did bum changes and nap time and bath and bed. I did hanging out, playing, watching Glee videos online with Winnie, way past bedtime....you know, the fun stuff. 

6. Lastly, I requested.....tequila! Check!

Here it is! My Mother's Day Drink. 

 

Pink Grapefruit Margaritas
From: Barefoot Contessa’s How Easy Is That


1 cup ruby red grapefruit juice
1/2  cup fresh squeezed lime juice (about 4 limes)
1 cup triple sec orange liqueur
3 cups ice
1 cup white tequila
1   lime cut in wedges, optional Kosher salt.

If you prefer to rim the glasses take a lime wedge and rim, then dip in salt, if you do not like a salted rim sprinkle a touch of salt in each glass, the salt really brings out the flavor.

Combine the grapefruit juice, lime juice, triple sec, tequila and ice in a blender. Blend and serve in salt rimmed glasses with a wedge of lime!

It was the perfect day. Thanks to my hubby, my sister, Jamie's fam and my beautiful gals....
