Really, no need to wait for a Friday because any day is a good day for a margarita in my opinion. But it’s the weekend people! So let’s celebrate it. Make a point to relax and do something special with friends or family.
I made my stand-by enchilada casserole last night for dinner, so used it as my excuse to make myself a margarita and some homemade guacamole, both with a little added EO goodness. Hope you give these simple recipes a try and have a great weekend.
Salud!
Guacamole
Ingredients:
- 2 avocados
- 1/4 C chopped red onion
- 1 small clove of garlic, minced or pressed
- 1/8 C fresh lime juice (juice of ~half a lime)
- 1 drop Young Living Lime essential oil
- 1/2 t salt
- 1/2 t pepper
- Optional: 1 small Roma tomato, diced
- Optional: a few dashes of Franks Red Hot, I know there’s some Franks people out there!
Cut the avocados in half and remove pits, scoop the flesh out and put into a bowl. Immediately add the lime juice (to prevent browning) and the rest of the ingredients. Mash avocados and combine ingredients. Check to see if more salt or pepper should be added. A little extra salt may really make the difference. Serve with tortilla chips.
Citrus Fresh Margarita
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 oz tequila
- 1 oz triple sec orange liqueur or Cointreau
- 3/4 oz freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 drop Young Living Citrus Fresh (or lime or lemon EO)
- ice
- 1 wedge of lime for garnish
- optional: kosher salt to rim the glass
Pour enough salt on a plate to rim your margarita glass. Rub a lime wedge along the rim of your glass and dip glass into the salt. Fill cocktail shaker with first five ingredients, shake vigorously and strain into your glass. Garnish with a lime wedge.
Love Citrus Fresh! What’s in Citrus Fresh blend and what else can you do with it? Citrus Fresh is a blend of Orange, Tangerine, Mandarin, Grapefruit, Lemon and Spearmint. This blend can be used in all three ways: (1) aromatically (breathe it in right from the bottle or through a diffuser,) (2) topically (diluted 1:1 with a carrier oil and rubbed on your skin; put on an area that won’t be exposed to sun,) and (3) internally by adding a few drops to a glass of water. BONUS: Citrus Fresh is one of the oils included in the current Premium Starter Kit.
