Refreshing Strawberry Margaritas

Strawberry & slice of limeย Margaritaย | cookingwithcassandra.com

I am a huge margarita fan! Aside from wine, tequila is my go-to for my cocktail of choice. Recently, I shared my margarita pitcher recipe which is great for serving big crowds. While a classic margarita makes for a delicious cocktail, sometimes I like to switch it up, especially if Iโ€™m feeling particularly creative.  Today, Iโ€™m sharing a variation of the traditional recipe: a frozen strawberry margarita.  This homemade strawberry margarita recipe uses frozen strawberries, tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice, and honey. When blended together, the mixture turns a very pretty pink...

Homemade Margarita Pitcher

Margarita Drinks | cookingwithcassandra.com

The margarita is a drink that needs no introduction. Every Mexican bar or restaurant has a margarita on its menu, and itโ€™s a popular cocktail everyone can recognize from a mile away. Those salt-rimmed glasses filled with an iced cocktail and a fancy lime wedge? Iconic.  But what really sets a good margarita apart is the cocktail mixture. If you combine just the right amount of high-quality tequila, sweet cointreau, and tangy lime juice, youโ€™ll get a smooth margarita that tastes divine!  In this recipe, Iโ€™ll be showing you my best homemade margarita recipe for a serving of 12....

Paloma Cocktail

Paloma Cocktail | cookingwithcassandra.com

One of my favorite cocktails in the summer? A boozy Paloma cocktail.  The Paloma is a highball style cocktail with its origins in Mexico. Tequila, grapefruit soda, and lime juice are the essentials of this thirst quencher and it always gets me in a celebratory mood.  Though it is traditionally served with only these three ingredients, I thought Iโ€™d put my own spin on it. I stepped it up with the addition of an orange liqueur (Cointreau, sometimes Triple Sec) and sweetened the cocktail with homemade simple syrup.  All the liquid ingredients go into a cocktail shaker, and...

Easy Red Sangria – Perfect for Summer

Red Sangria Wine | cookingwithcassandra.com

There is no better drink to enjoy during summer than a red sangria!  Traditional sangria is a cocktail made of Spanish red wine and a variety of fresh fruits and berries. Think of it as a fruit punch that has red wine and is infused for a few hours. This allows the taste of the wine to change depending on the types of fruit mixed in.  Itโ€™s the best beverage to cool down with whether youโ€™re by the beach, at the pool, or winding down in the summer evening. If youโ€™re having a few friends over dinner, why not try pairing it with this summer berries, candied almonds and goat cheese...
