Wayfair Solstice Sips – Spicy Pomegranate Margaritas

June 13, 2017~ Uncategorized

I admit, I’ve been on a bit of a gin kick these past few months (can you blame me though?) so for July I thought I’d try a different spirit – Silver Tequila. It’s different (for me), seasonal and much like gin, the good stuff tastes divine, making it one of the perfect summer mixers. Wayfair Canada has asked us to share our summer solstice sips and a recipe for everyone to enjoy.

Inspired by Freutcake’s recipe // here // I made my own version using San Pellegrino’s pomegranate soda water instead of sweetened pomegranate juice. And while my beverage is 19+ i.e only for those of age, I’m sure you could make a virgin version with simple syrup.

*Wayfair.ca sponsored this post, but all thoughts are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that make PMQ for two possible.

As a quick aside, if you haven’t already got a set of killer glasses for outside, you should check-out the drink ware selection on Wayfair.ca // here //. I really like this hobnail set // here //, there tiki ones (given my theme) // here // and these lovely highball glasses // here //.

Also, big shout-out to some local talent – if you’re not familiar with her, you should check out Jolie Dionne of Vintage Meets Glam.com who helped me out with the shoot. She’s a DIY and Home Decor blogger located in Fredericton, NB, Canada. She shares her eclectic filled home with her husband and their 4 rescue cats.<– which means we have a lot in common.

Other cocktails in the TGIF series:

Maple Whisky Milkshake  // Chocolate & Coffee Icecubes //  Cocktail Freezies // Pink Pearl // Peach & Honey Moscow Mule // London Lemonade // Blackberry Mint Julep // Bacon & Green Bean Ceasar

Ingredients

  • 2 slices of jalapeno plus more for garnish
  • 4 oz. silver tequila – I went with Patron, might as well get the good stuff.
  • 8 oz. San Pellegrino Pomegranate Soda Water
  • Lime juice
  • kosher salt for rim
  • crushed ice

You can make this cocktail in the glass or in a shaker. I made mine in a glass because I wanted everyone to be able to control how strong they wanted their drink, but if you’re making a big batch of the cocktail, go for the shaker.

Step 1: Rim your glass using a lime wedge.

Step 2: Up-end your glass on a plate of kosher salt to cover the rim.

Step 3: Add crushed ice or ice cubes. If you have cool ice spheres those are also super fun and you can buy a mold on Wayfair // here //

Step 4: Add about 3/4 of an ounce of lime juice to the glass.

Step 5: Follow with 4 oz of tequila.

Step 6: Top up the glass with the San Pellegrino Pomegranate Soda Water.

Step 7: Garnish with slices jalapeños and fun “let’s party” cocktail skewer // here //

I’m pretty much in love with this drink, although the heartburn after was wicked, so maybe pop an antacid first.

If you’re digging all the paper finishes // here //and love the tiki linens // here //, make sure check-out how I made them! Because you too can have your very own set of kitschy glam tiki accoutrements.

JB’s Montessori playroom is looking pretty good, JB’s Montessori playroom is looking pretty good, especially now that all the Christmas decor is gone. Bear in mind, this is what it looks like before a child has actually had a chance to play in it 😂

I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerles I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerless these days, but @laybabylay made a great point in her stories the other day: you can always do something nice. You can buy the order of the person in line behind you at the drivethru. You can donate to charitable organizations doing things you believe in. You can make a meal for your neighbour who might be having a hard time with lockdown. It’s amazing how much better I feel when I do something nice, and I bet you will too ❤️

“Life is what happens when you’re busy making “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans” - John Lennon. 😎 As a family who moves a lot, we’re ready for a new chapter/ new house, but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to leave all the memories! We brought June home here 😭 she learned to walk here, and said her first words here. I wonder what other “firsts” she’ll have before we move. [pictured, June in a messy kitchen last year]

*insert pun about light* AD: our Kai sconces from *insert pun about light* AD: our Kai sconces from @mymitzi make this wet bar. Sure, secret thing else contributes to the #retroaesthetic , but lighting sets the mood. These brass sconces blend right in when they need to, but gleefully take center stage after dark. What do ya think?
