Mandarin Margaritas Food
SPICY MANDARIN MARGARITA
Margarita Day is finally here, and I for one am pretty excited. I know we all fill our margarita void with the weekly Margarita Monday, but today both National Margarita Day and Margarita Monday collide like an interstellar alignment of the planets, creating a margarita celebration on steroids. You'd be silly not to have a drink. I've crafted a margarita with a little firepower, so it's like a fireworks celebration in your mouth - no I didn't add gunpowder or light anything - but you will find the Serrano peppers do a sublime job of emulating a similar effect. I began my process with the most important ingredient - tequila - and found a great bottle of Reposado Tequila, which provided a little more balance to the cocktail than I believe a blanco would in this instance. With my margaritas I like to replace the traditional orange liqueur with some fresh orange juice. This substitution has a double effect on the end product: it leaves more room for more tequila and it also helps balance the acidity of the lime juice. Speaking of which, I find there is no substitute for fresh squeezed juice in a good margarita, so I went out to the market searching for limes and oranges. While there, I came across some delicious looking mandarins, which led to an epiphany: substitute the oranges for mandarins. The end result is a beautifully balanced, boozy and absolutely delicious Spicy Mandarin Margarita with an emphasis on spicy. I'm a huge fan of spice, but if you're not the spice level is easily modified by adding as little less. Happy National Margarita Day!

MARGARITAS BY THE PITCHER
A fantastic margarita without a mix. The better the alcohol, the smoother the taste (that goes without saying), but these are pretty fabulous with even fairly cheap tequila and triple sec! Serve over ice for margaritas on the rocks or make several hours ahead and freeze for amazing margarita slushies!
