White Peach Margaritas

There is nothing better after a long day than sipping a lively cocktail.

I had a basket full of white peaches on my counter screaming for a fiesta so the 

White Peach Margarita was born!

This fruity, fun drink, 

paired with fresh tortilla chips and salsa fresca, 

and the worries of the day just floated away...

Luscious white peaches, fresh squeezed orange and lime juices, 

mixed with tequila then served "up" with salt...

but the key to my evening cocktail is 

Sweet'N Low. 

With zero calories, it helps give my margaritas the perfect sweetness 

without the extra calories and it's diabetic friendly.

Even the piñata looks envious of my drink!

White Peach Margaritas

(2 margaritas)

2 Ripe White Peaches, peeled and diced (or any type of peach will be fabulous)

1/4 cup fresh squeezed orange juice

1/4 cup fresh squeezed lime juice

3 packets of Sweet'N Low

2 shots of tequila (or 3 oz)

Place peaches, juices and Sweet'N Low in a blender and mix until all ingredients are pureed together.

Add tequila and peach puree to a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake well.  Pour into salt rimmed martini glasses and enjoy. (can be served on the rocks as well)

Farmer's Market Inspired Iced Tea...a Beau-TEA-ful Summer

This shop is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Lipton, but all my opinions are my own. #bemoretea #pmedia  http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV

I love going to the Farmer's Market, especially in the summer.

Everyone is carefree and happy, 

the farmers are handing out samples of their bounty left and right, 

it is so colorful and fun you can't help but be inspired.

But it has been HOT! 

All I could think about at the Farmer's Market last weekend was how to cool down.

The peaches and lavender were calling my name...

and I can never resist strawberries...

The perfect pairings for cold, refreshing iced tea.

I popped Lipton K-cups into my Keurig, 

poured over ice and instantly I had fresh brewed iced tea.

To stay true to the Beau-TEA of the season, 

I garnished with

peaches on lavender stems...

and strawberry straws with sugar rimmed glasses...

It was all ready so quickly,

 I barely had time to get dressed for the occasion with my

Summer Strawberry Shirt!

(to make strawberry straws:

simply poke a straw through the bottom of your fresh berry and push up toward the top... 

it even hulls it for you!)

(to make strawberry sugar:

I combine 3/4 of a cup of sugar with 5 Tablespoons of freeze dried strawberries in a blender and 

pulse until berries and sugar are about the same consistency...

keep in a mason jar so you always have some on hand)

Lipton K-cups come in 5 fabulous flavors and

are available in most supermarkets and on line.

Cheers to a Beau-TEA-ful Summer

and the ease of Lipton K-cups!
