National Margarita Day Cocktails

National Margarita Day is here to sell tequila and there’s no more perfect time than the present to host a happy hour featuring your favorite margarita. There are lots of jokes about tequila and the things it makes you do, but if you are a fan of this spirit, join us in creating a few margaritas that are perfectly in step with the season. I am a big margarita fan, especially silver tequila, if you do too, try UNO, it’s the best.

Our peach margarita is the one that is perfectly timed for the summer season. During the winter months, I swap fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice and peel back a grapefruit and muddle the pulp right into the drink. Some welcome additions include a drop of bitters or a sprig of rosemary. If this sounds refreshing, you bet it is, and it’s fondly referred to as a Paloma.

Our recipe for Honey Mojitos is sweet thanks to the Eastern Shore Honey that we used to replace refined sugar. Blackberry is great for drinks and would make the perfect sweetener for this recipe.

Bee Collins Cocktail

Tom Collins cocktail is a classic from long ago. The cocktail’s base is made with gin, lemon juice, sugar and carbonated water. Our fruity take on this classic cocktail is what we call the Fruity Bee Collins Cocktail. Bee Collins is made with Eastern Shore Honey instead of processed sugars and fresh summer fruits that’ll really put you in the, should we say, spirit!
