May 3…national raspberry tart day.  I don’t have anything against pies, mind you, but this just screams raspberry margaritas to me!  It is, after all, only a couple of days before Cinco de Mayo.  

Raspberry Tart Margarita
makes 1

In a blender combine:
½ cup fresh raspberries
¼ cup fresh lime juice
1 ½ oz. simple syrup {adjust this depending on raspberry sweetness}
½ oz. Grand Marnier
1 oz. tequila
6 ice cubes

Puree until ice cubes are broken down.  Pour into a glass, rubbed with a cut lime and rimmed with salt or sugar if you’d like.
