French Kiss Margarita

February 13, 2013 By Naomi Robinson | Bakers Royale 32 Comments

Predictable. A Valentine’s something or another the day before. Well this year it’s a Valentine’s cocktail. I think you’ll like the blood orange against the basil and the margarita meets French kiss cocktail combination. It’s not dessert because I couldn’t get around to photographing it, that’s the downside of being a slower shooter and having a 9-5’r that only allows me to photograph on the weekend.

I know, I’m such an excuse maker.

Well here’s another one: I’m cutting this post short—struggling with a personal issue that has me heavy. I ‘m sorry, I just don’t have it in me to be up and conversational.

Cheers, to a forward looking statement that tomorrow will be better than today.

    I agree with Amanda. I mean don’t get too personal but people like to see the human side of us from time to time. It’s how we connect with them on a deeper level. Sorry you’re going through something rough. This too shall pass. Love the cocktail! Cheers!

    Thank you for this post, I truly admire your honesty. I struggle with writing how I’m really feeling in my blog, for fear of being negative or a downer, but it’s true, we all have bad days and it’s comforting and inspiring to see someone having a bad day and not trying to mask it.

    I really hope things are on the up and up, and you’re having a beautiful day today! Your photos are amazing and one day I hope to be able to bake and take photos as awesome as yours. 🙂

    That French Kiss Margarita looks amazing! Basil and Blood Orange Juice – sounds like an incredibly tempting combination. I’m always a sucker for Blood Orange, because I feel like it’s so much juicier and bursting with flavor. Tequila + Sweet Vermouth, too? Need to try!!

    Lovely pictures, by the way!
