Mango Margaritas

It's Fourth of July weekend and that means there will definitely be some picnics and BBQs going on.  I'll be heading to a few and will be bringing along my delicious Mango Margaritas. They are super easy to make and everybody loves them!  They are a perfect mix of spicy and sweet and go well with almost anything. Here's what you'll need:

Ingredients:
5 Limes - Juice of four limes and 1 lime for garnish
3 cups of Mango juice (I like to use Jumex Mango Nectar - it's tasty and inexpensive)
1 1/2 cups of Tequila ( I like to use Tequila Hacienda la Flor by Chef Marcella)
Tajin for rimming the glasses

Recipe:
1.  Pour Tajin onto a small plate, rub the rims of 4 glasses with lime, and press the glass into the tajin making sure the rims are completely covered.  Fill the glasses with ice.
2.  Mix together juice from 4 limes, 3 cups of mango nectar and 1 1/2 cups of tequila.
3. Garnish with lime slices, pour and enjoy!

Britt's Picks: Bohemian Garden Party


The summertime is my absolute favorite. I wait all year for these long days and warm nights (and needless to say I’m loving this heatwave). There is something enchanting and free-spirited about the summer that makes me want to gather with close friends and family and just enjoy the beautiful weather.

Bohemian style reflects the same free-spiritedness of the summer, whether it’s through fashion or home décor, and right now, the summer makes me want to throw a Bohemian themed garden party to celebrate. And with festive Bohemian tabletop and design inspiration all over the web, I couldn’t resist putting together a little inspiration board:
