Re-mixed? Yup. Re-mixed. I love a good classic margarita, not the icy kind and not with salt. Nope. I want it on ice and no salt. And until recently, no Cointreau or triple sec. In fact, that portion is swapped out for some club soda.
My brother-in-law made this for me a few weeks back and I’ve been working on replicating it ever since. It’s the best margarita I’ve ever had.
I’m sure the purists out there will tell you that this is not a margarita without the Cointreau, but then again – I did qualify it as re-mixed.
Now onto other news . . . I joined a new social app called Steller. Some of you may already be on it or are aware of it. If so, I’m on it – let’s be friends and tell stories!
It is my new found obsession and my favorite social media platform. I love its storytelling ability. You can load photos, put text directly on photos, upload videos and each one of these loads onto to its own page and is then compiled into a book to share with others and they can view it on any mobile device. It’s really amazing. The best part – its simple and intuitive interface makes it super easy to use.

See it’s bonafide rad. Now create your profile—I want to see your story!

A fizzy margarita, love the idea! And Don Julio is one of my BFFs 🙂
Love the idea of a Marg on Monday morning! And a fizzy marg? Even better! Pinning 🙂
If I’m not doing a margarita, I’m a tequila and tonic guy. Tequila,
Tonic, and a half a lime. Summer in a glass.
Classic margs are where it’s at! Love this!
Nice shot!
Beautiful shots and the perfect drink for monday!
Wow! I love the mood this photo sets! Gorgeous gorgeous!!
Always love coming to your site to see what’s going on in your kitchen! Gorgeous as ever 🙂 xo
Gorgeous photos like always!
It’s so funny that you posted this…I have been drinking tequila and club soda quite a bit over the last few weeks and I love it, especially with Don Julio!
Even though it’s Monday at 7:30am, I could definitely go for one of these! They look killer!
Serve me up one of those!! Okay, fine three.
Nice twist on the classic margarita. I’m gonna have to try it with club soda tonight!
These look perfect Naomi!
Don Julio the best tequila ever!!!

Love this cocktail!!
Love your story and love love LOVE this set of photos. Crazy gorgeous! I’m all about margaritas on the rocks too and I think I’ll be trying this version since that club soda is pretty intriguing. 🙂
This is my ideal cocktail! Light, refreshing and not sweet at all!
craving a margarita right now.. wish it would hurry up and be the weekend so i could make one. tequila, myself and weekdays do not mix well!
Salivating!! *heading off to see if we have limes*
Now you inspired me to make it. I am following you on Steller now, I did not want a food fight in the house so I am following both of you 🙂 I can’t wait to publish my 1st story. And your pics always makes me dream.
I would love to try this, but unfortunately am intolerant to alcohol. Looks great though – I’ll have to pass this idea along to my husband.
Love this cocktail! Especially in summer 😉
Beautiful shots!
Gorgeous! Love this 3 ingredient sipper!
I am loving this twist on the margarita. And who doesn’t love a cocktail that’s simple!
Can I ask what type of surface you used for these shots? I love it!
