Amazing, refreshing and mouth watering! The key here is a little product we found called Little Waisted glitter sugars and cocktail salts. We have added their lime flavored cocktail salt to these watermelon slices, and we are obsessed with their other fun, sparkly products!

Slice melon, pour LGC original margarita onto pieces, keep chilled in fridge, dip into fancy salt or sugar, enjoy.
Make this before your guests arrive and then relax!

Making it easier was the only way we could improve on this classic cocktail. Feeling extra festive? Add a floater of your favorite tequila for extra punch!

Flags and fireworks, backyards and barbeques, sunshine and swimming pools… it’s official, summer is here!
While you are enjoying the parades, parties and patriotism that make this time of year so awesome, we thought we’d add a spicy little margarita recipe to help you get your groove on. The essential ingredient in this crafty quaff is the (sometimes hard to find) Ancho Reyes – a spicy liquor distilled from ancho chilies. It brings the earthy flavors of warm dried chilies and a hint of cinnamon, and it packs some heat! Find it ahead of time here – http://anchoreyes.com/en/locator.html
Here is the recipe – super simple with three equal parts, just add all the ingredients over ice and gently stir. Serves one.

Happy National Margarita Day!
We don’t want to overhype it or anything but, IS THERE ANYTHING BETTER THAN A NATIONAL HOLIDAY DEVOTED TO MARGARITAS? So maybe the boozy “holiday” isn’t exactly a time-honored tradition… One could even argue it’s an industry creation, but America doesn’t seem to have a problem with it. In fact, margaritas are the most consumed cocktail in the US. Some accounts have us drinking 200,000 margaritas per hour.
So, what are YOU doing to celebrate on 2/22/2016?
In honor of our favorite holiday, we wanted to offer up a simple and easy twist on the classic margarita. This spicy fave will bite you at first, but after a few sips, you will not be able to put it down. We hope you enjoy!
Classic Jalapeño Cucumber Marg
Ingredients:
1/4 wedge of lime
1/3 to 1/2 fresh jalapeño
6 cucumber rounds
5 oz Laughing Glass Margarita (original flavor)
Directions:
In a cocktail shaker, muddle jalapeño and 5 cucumber rounds with the juice of the lime
Add the LGC margarita, shake, and strain over ice into a cocktail glass (we recommend a salted rim)
