Happy National Tequila Day!!! It’s summer, and as shitty as life seems to be right now, at least we can enjoy some booze and seasonal produce. But really, let’s always try to smile and look on the bright side of things. This is the BEST time of year to eat watermelon, and well since it is also national tequila day today, why not drink it too. Below I’m sharing the perfect summer margarita recipe for the grown ups, and an easy super simple watermelon salad.
Watermelon Margarita:
What ya need for the perfect summer margarita:
1 large pitcher
a bunch of ice
high quality tequila like Casamigos,
fresh watermelon juice (Don’t be a martyr and just buy it at the store),
Simple Syrup. (Same as above, just buy it!)
Finally, a few limes.
How to Make:
4 Cups fresh watermelon juice ( I prefer a margarita on the rocks, but you could also use frozen for a blended version.
1/2 cup tequila but I will leave those specifics up to you
1/4 cup simple syrup
1/3 cup fresh lime juice, and a few limes as a garnish.
Mix all that shit up and get to drinking!
A good friend by your side is always a plus, six feet apart of course these days.
Watermelon Salad
Super simple both in ingredients, prep, and clean up. this salad is always a hit when we entertain or are just firing up the bbq on a summer night.
Large serving bowl
1 bag of baby argula
1 large Watermelon cut into bite sized chunks
1 Cup of crumbled feta cheese
1 small handful of fresh basil
1 large handful of fresh mint
The juice of 1 large lemon
1/4 cup lemon infused olive oil
How to make:
Gently mix watermelon, oil, and lemon juice in a large bowl
place arugula in the serving bowl then top with watermelon

THAT IS IT! ENJOY!
So here’s the plan, order your groceries online and maybe throw in a steak or something. Now pretend the country isn’t falling to pieces, and slap on a little makeup and a cute outfit. What the hell, wear a bathing suit.
Cool. Next, head outside to the backyard or patio and just take some time to enjoy the evening and some fresh air. No news, no tv. Finally, maybe a little music or an edible to seal the deal. That’s all I’ve got today. I hope you are hanging in there!
