POISON FROM THE BAR--KEY LIME PIE MARGARITA

'Wastin' away again in Margaritaville'...Jimmy Buffet...I love me some Jimmy B.


Who doesn't love a Margarita, especially in the heart of the country where all Mexican food requires at least one tequilla--rita'd or shot with a lemon wedge and salt? And because everyone should know The Florida Keys have that world-famous Key Lime Pie, what better combination than a Key Lime Pie Margarita!  I've got my itsy bitsy teeny weeny bikini on song in my head just thinking about the beach.  Scared ya' there for a minute, didn't I?

Since we're on a time limit to crank these out so we can get straight to watching baseball or Amerian Horror Story, there will be no squeezing the limes in this recipe.  This one will definitely keep you wastin' away and it just looks like a beach drink, doesn't it?

KEY LIME PIE MARGARITA

1 oz Tequila
2 TBSP Musselman's Key Lime Pie Filling (use the rest of the filling for mini-pies, in graham cracker crusts or phyllo)
1 oz Coconut Rum
1/2 lime juiced and pulp, (discard lime)
Splash of water
powdered sugar (to your taste if too tart)

Pour all in blender with handful of ice, blend smooth and pour into glass rimmed with coarse salt, fine sugar and slice of lime.

 

Put on your flip flops and dream of the beach....or your pool...that's now closed...I so hate cold weather.

Bon Argarita!
