NOT Low Carb: But for the naughty monkey in your family

Ok, some of us have people in our house that deserve a drink..so since it's getting to be spring, pass along a recipe that I found and tried that brought me back to a simpler time...  yes...i drank it...no I don't feel guilty...ok yes I do...but wow...it tasted so good...  anyway here you go!


Blackberry-Mint Margaritas

Adapted from the Hungry Cat Restaurant in Hollywood California!
1 2-pint box of fresh blackberries
a generous handful of mint leaves, washed and torn into 1/2 inch pieces
2 Tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup lime juice (or to taste)
1 cup Reposado tequila (we used Sauza Hornitos)

Place the sugar and water in a glass measuring cup in the microwave, and heat on high for thirty seconds, or until the sugar is dissolved. Add a few ice cubes to cool to room temperature.
Fill four rocks glasses with ice.
Skewer two blackberries on toothpicks, one for each drink (we couldn't do this because we didn't have toothpicks.)
Muddle the blackberries and lime juice in a pitcher, add the sugar syrup, mint and tequila and stir to blend. Pour over ice and garnish with skewered berries.
Serves 4

Mmmmm that sounds yummy. Not that I've had any alcohol since surgery but still.
Why can't pregnant women drink again? LoL just kidding. Maybe after my Little Mister arrives I'll attempt this. Could probably make it with a sugar sub right?

YYYUUUUMMMMM!!!!
