    I never forget a business trip, a day trip from London to Glasgow setting of at stupid o’clock and getting abck after 9pm, to have the front door opened and be greeted with a margarita. Heaven!! And your fruity version looks a treat!

    These look amazing, Spree! I can’t resist making them tonight! I may have to use rum instead of tequila though! 🙂

        They were really good, Spree. I used a spiced rum and left out the Grand Marnier and salt. Next time I will dip the rims in sugar and drink without straws, in the hope that they will last longer! 🙂

    There’s nothing like reading the word “succulent” in a recipe.
