Epcot’s Avocado Margarita from La Cava del Tequila at Disney World is the perfect Margarita to enjoy on National Margarita Day (which happens to be today, February 22nd) and now you can recreate this refreshing drink to enjoy at home any day of the year! Two of my favorite things…. Margaritas and avocados. You just can’t go wrong with that! Cheers!

The margarita — triple sec, tequila, and lime juice — was created in 1938 in Mexico and is widely considered the official drink of having fun.

Here’s how to make it:

Stocking up for Memorial Day at BevMo!

Are you ready for the start of summer? I sure am! Memorial Day is unofficially the start of the summer season, and I am ready for all things fun in the sun to start. This includes all those refreshing summer drinks. Where’s the best place to stock up for all of these summer gatherings and parties? BevMo of course, and you will want to stock up on all of your favorites for Memorial Day to kick off summer right! Here are some of my picks to enjoy, shopping for beverages should be as much fun as drinking them!

Having a great selection of drinks and snacks to choose from can really make for a great party and makes everyone feel welcome and ready to have a great time!  You can shop in stores, shop online and pick up in store in one hour, or have products delivered within one hour (select stores), have products delivered (at a later time), or have products shipped. Did you know BevMo! delivers!  I did not know that until recently. Planning a big party? They have free delivery on all orders over $500! They offer thousands of wine, beer, and spirits as well as complementary items that enhances all drinking occasions and will have you ready for your Memorial Day Party.

Here is some of the loot I picked up at my local BevMo! As you can see, there is a nice selection of both drinks and snacks that they offer. The fruit was used to make some tasty Berry Vodka Tonic drinks. BevMo! is the number one specialty beverage retailer on the West Coast. You’ll find BevMo! stores located throughout California, Arizona, Washington and of course on-line.

If you’re looking for a light and refreshing drink for your Memorial Day party then you might want to try this Berry Vodka Tonic drink. It’s so easy to make too! Here’s what you need to make it:

  • 1 handful of blueberries
  • 3 strawberries
  • 4 0z Fever-Tree Tonic Water
  • 1.5 oz Tito’s Vodka
  • Ice.

1. Add 3 sliced strawberries and the blueberries into a glass. Muddle slightly to release the strawberry and blueberry juices.

2. Add one shot of vodka which is around 1.5 ounces.

3. Fill glass with ice and top off with tonic water.

4. To make it extra fancy you can garnish the rim with a strawberry. You could also sugar the rim at the beginning too, if you want a really pretty looking drink and to add a little more sweetness.

There are also lots of other drinks you can choose from too. Beer, wine, liquor, mixers; BevMo! has it all!

Who’s ready to kick off Memorial Day and start off summer, right? Maybe with a nice cold Firestone Walker 805 from BevMo? Cheers!
