day 24: patio

24. patio 
happy national margarita day!
behind the house is a very large brick patio. there's a nice big tree that provides shade in the summer. the patio has been great for grilling, playing, entertaining, s'mores, movies, and don't forget, to enjoy margaritas!

Margaritas

Recipe for one batch, found on Meg Duerksen's blog, also known as "Meg-arita's":

1 can frozen limeade

tequila

triple sec

1 beer (I used blue moon) 

Pour the limeade into the blender. Use the empty limeade can as your measuring cup.

 Fill it 2/3 full of tequila, then 1/3 full of the triple sec.

Pour it in the blender. Fill your blender with ice. Blend until it is the right consistency.

After that is done, THEN you add one bottle of beer. Mix with a spoon. If desired, salt the rim of your glass and add a lime slice.

(DO NOT USE THE BLENDER after the beer is poured in. You will have margaritas all over the place.)
