Peach & Jalapeno Margaritas!


So I just made these Margs and although it sounds weird, they are so good! The jalapeno doesn't give it a whole lot of spice, just a bit of warmth to the back of your throat. They're also super easy - I left the skin on the peaches and chopped everything roughly because at the end, I ran it all through a sieve.

3 Ripe Peaches, roughly chopped
1 Jalapeno, roughly chopped
1/4 cup Simple Syrup, with a 3 sugar to 1 water ratio
1 Lime, zest and juice
Pinch of salt (just to bring out the sweetness)

Throw all the ingredients in the food processor or blender and run until smooth.
Run it through a sieve to catch the skins, seeds and any chunks.

Shake with a bit of ice and your favorite tequila and serve in a margarita or martini glass with a lime or sliced jalapeno garnish.

Summer Fab


I am adoring trifles right now <3

Chris has taken pictures of the ones I
have created, but here is the basic idea.

Ladies..these are classy. delicious. & simple.

I'm sure you have made them before...
but bring the trifle bowl back out
& make it your staple for summer!

Love,

this summer's trifle queen <3
