I was telling my mother in law today at dinner how we’ve gone from one wait list to another. And still have more wait lists to go! I’ve said this before but adoption is not for the faint of heart!
So, while we wait, we are playing and having fun. And margaritas are a fun thing to have! Here is my favorite recipe and is used a lot around here in the summer.
So, I’ll wait with a margarita in hand. Not bad! smile
Amaretto Margaritas
8 servings (serving size: 1/2 cup margarita and 1 lime slice)
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 1/2 cups fresh lime juice (about 9 limes)
- 1 cup tequila
- 3/4 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup amaretto (almond-flavored liqueur)
- 8 lime slices
Preparation
Combine sugar and 3/4 cup water in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 5 minutes or until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat; cool completely. Stir in lime juice.
Combine sugar mixture, tequila, orange juice, and amaretto in a pitcher. Serve over ice. Garnish with lime slices.
I was born in Jos, Nigeria many years ago. I spent the next nineteen years living in Liberia, Kenya and Ethiopia. This blog began as a way to chronicle the journey to getting our third daughter through adoption. I have found that since I began writing, this blog has become a place for community, support and a safe place to share about my LIFE.
love that you post recipies:) I too am a margarita fan. I’ll have to try your recipie. The Tequila we have to import, but that we DO! Impossible to find the amaretto so for now I’ll have to fudge on that ingredient!
Margaritas help with many a thing.
Yum.
