Not So Fast

Last night was a great way to celebrate before my new job starts tomorrow.
We played 9 holes of golf, and I made par on a hole! But wait, there is more! I also made a putt from about 35 feet! After it happened, I screamed, did a little victory dance, and said, "Okay seriously, did that really go in?!" It was such a fun and humorous 9 holes of golf. My boyfriend mistakenly started carrying the pin flag into our golf cart, thinking it was his golf club. It was too funny.
After golf, we went out to dinner and ordered two flat bread pizzas and a few glasses of white wine. To our surprise, we got to see a random fireworks show! The restaurant we were at, is on a hill, so we had the perfect view of the fireworks show. Such a great night.

Now, on to tonight...
Did you think I was done with the peaches? Not so fast...

Fresh Peach Margarita
Serves about 3
Ingredients:
2 shots of Good Quality Silver Tequila
Splash of Grand Mariner
6 peaches, washed, peeled, sliced and quartered
3 slices of lime, to garnish each glass
Simple Syrup
Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
Directions:
First, make the simple syrup. In a microwave safe bowl, add the sugar and the water and mix well. Place in the microwave for about 1 minute and 25 seconds or until the sugar dissolves. Mix well and set aside to cool. You can also prepare this on the stove over medium-high heat, but to make it super simple syrup, use the microwave!
In a food processor, take the prepared peaches and place them into it. Then. add the simple syrup. Blend well until the peaches are completely liquified. Then, drain the mixture through a sieve into a large measuring cup. Then, into the measuring cup, add the tequila and Grand Mariner. Make sure to mix very well to incorporate all of the ingredients. Pour the drink over ice and garnish with a lime.


I loved this margarita! The fresh peaches with the Good Quality Tequila, little splash of Grand Mariner, homemade simple syrup and fresh lime was so refreshing. It was the perfect summer time margarita.
