Tie One On Tuesday



It feels like it's been forever since we have had a Tie One On Tuesday. Oh, how I've missed it. Trust me, I haven't missed a cocktail but I've missed sharing them with you. In honor of you, the loyal reader, I have taken some requests.

My friend AlwaysInspired asked me to make up a mocktail for her since right now she can't have cocktails. Okay,  let me see what I have in my recipe book...

Mamarita
Ingredients:
1 ounce agave nectar
1/2 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 ounce orange juice
3 ounces organic limeaid
1 lime wheel
rimming salt

Directions:
Rim a margarita glass and set aside.
Stir agave nectar and lemon juice in the bottom of a mixing glass until nectar dissolves.
Add orange juice, limeaid, and ice, then shake vigorously.
Strain into the margarita glass, and serve with a lime wheel on the rim.

My other friend, Digital Misfit, well....she needs a saucy beverage to go with her saucy new year.
