While many of us continue to remain under stay at home orders, we may be tempted to reminisce. Being that it’s Thursday, one of the favorite internet searches is “bars near me.” It’s Thirsty Thursday, which means going out with friends to kick off the weekend a bit early. However, getting wine and beer to go just isn’t the same.

This week, we’re inviting you to try one of the following margarita recipes at home. With a drink in hand and group video chat in session, it will almost be like the good old days!

Classic Margarita

With hundreds of classic margarita recipes available, how does one choose? Well, we’re here to help. Gather the following ingredients, and then we’ll begin:

• 2 ounces of a tequila – your choice
• 1 ounce of Cointreau, Triple sec, or Grand Marnier
• 3 ounces of freshly squeezed lime juice

Gently shake all of the ingredients together and pour over ice. Remember to salt your rim before pouring! Garnish with a lime slice, and you’re good to go!

If you’re missing the fresh lime, many stores have different “limeades” available, which also serve as a good mixer option.

Frozen Fruit Margarita

What’s better than a frozen margarita on a sunny spring day? Nothing. That’s why you need to gather the following and toss the ingredients into your blender asap:

• 6 ounces of a tequila of your choice
• 2 ounces of Cointreau, Triple sec, or Grand Marnier
• 4 ounces of frozen limeade concentrate
• 8 ounces of frozen, or fresh, sliced fruit. Strawberries and mango make the perfect fruit blend

Fill your blender with ice, blend for around 30 seconds, and serve in a sugar-rimmed margarita glass!

Jalapeño Margarita

If you’re like many of us, you’re missing that spice of life. With the help of this traditional margarita recipe, you can have all the spice you need!

• 4 ounces of tequila
• 2 ounces of Cointreau, Triple sec, or Grand Marnier
• 2 freshly squeezed limes
• 1 tablespoon of agave
• ½ of a jalapeño pepper, seeded and diced. If you’re feeling brave, you can add more pepper or leave in the seeds.

Start by muddling your jalapenos with the freshly squeezed lime juice.  Once you get the desired texture, mix in the remaining ingredients, and enjoy!

Even though our doors remained closed for dining in, at La Santa, we’ll always be the favorite result for “bars near me.” Remember, bringing home authentic Mexican cuisine is still an option as we’re open for curbside pickup and delivery! Check out our menu online and give us a call today
