Raspberry Margarita

Just by quick observation as I was making this and planning to add it to my blog....all my drink recipes so far have been margaritas!  Needless to say they're my favorite drink.  I will work on getting some variety in there, but for now, enjoy this delicious, summery raspberry margarita!

Raspberry Margarita
makes 2 8oz margaritas
1 pint raspberries
1/2 Tbs sugar
3 oz. tequila
1 oz. triple sec
1 lime, juiced
ice

In a small sauce pan, heat the raspberries and sugar over medium-low heat.  As they cook, stir and smash them down as to extract as much liquid as possible.  Once the raspberries have become mostly liquid (about 10 mins), remove from heat and strain through a fine mesh strainer (seperating out the seeds) into a small dish or cup.  Let cool. 

Fill blender around half way up with ice (about 1 tray).   Add in the raspberry juice, tequilla, triple sec and lime juice.  Blend until ice is fully crushed.

To serve, combine equal amounts sugar and course salt, dip margarita glass rims into water, and then rub into the sugar/salt mixture.  Fill with the margarita mixture and serve immediately.  Enjoy!
