Blood Orange Margaritas

Blood Orange Margaritas

Happy Valentines Day. Cheers to love! Whether you are hanging out with your dog, cat, mom, dad, husband, boyfriend, or spending a quiet night at home alone these margaritas will surely make you feel loved. Forget about getting dressed up, slip into some pajamas and break out your cocktail shaker. We enjoyed these tasty drinks while taking a break from greenhouse construction. Happy hour in the mud is fine by me! Nothing screams romance quite like greenhouse construction and pink margaritas! I hope wherever you all are tonight you are able to light a candle and clink glasses with someone you love (even if that someone is yourself!) I will leave you all with my favorite quote. Spread the love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier. -Mother Teresa Happy Valentines day everyone. XO
