Happy Thirsty Thursday folks!
As promised, today I’m sharing a delicious little libation to go along with that fabulous Cheddar Pub Cheese with Everything Pita Chips from Monday. I’m a woman of my word friends!
So before cherry season is over let’s celebrate summer with this sweet and tart Cherry Margarita.
Everytime I visit the market it’s, here a cherry, there a cherry, everywhere a cherry, cherry! This summer, I’ve made my Cherry Vanilla Scones, my Lemon Poppyseed Pancakes with Cherry Compote, my Easy Cherry Pear Baked Oatmeal, and now with the help of my friends from my favorite craft cocktail mixer company, Powell & Mahoney, the Happy Hour pièce de résistance, this Cherry Margarita!
Powell & Mahoney makes margarita making incredibly easy and extremely tasty! You’ll only need a handful of cherries and a few other ingredients before you’ll be kicking back with one of these beauties and toasting with friends! Enjoy!
- 1-2 Tbsp. coarse salt
- 1/4 cup about 10-12 pitted cherries
- Sprinkle of granulated sugar
- 2 oz. silver tequila
- 2 oz. Powell & Mahoney Margarita
- Squeeze of fresh lime juice
- 1 cup ice
- Garnish one stemmed cherry and one slice of fresh lime
-
Place salt on a small plate. Rub the rim of your glass with a wedge of lime to moisten. Dip in salt. Set aside.
-
Muddle cherries and a sprinkle of sugar in a cocktail shaker until well crushed. Add the tequila, the Powell & Mahoney Margarita, a squeeze of fresh lime juice and some ice. Cover and shake vigorously, about 20 seconds. Strain over fresh ice into prepared glass. Garnish with stemmed cherry and a slice of lime.
Yum! Cheers! What a delicious way to use gorgeous cherries! Such a pretty colour too! Happy Thirsty Thursday! Pinned! Have a wonderful weekend, Mary Ann! xo
I can’t get enough cherries lately Dawn! Needed to whip up this cocktail to balance out the baked goods! Happy weekend to you too!
Oh my word. A vat of that pub cheese plus a pitcher of these beautiful cherry margaritas sounds like pure heaven to me, Mary Ann!!! I am so tired from the move and everything that goes along with organizing a new house, that quite literally, all I want in life is to sit on the couch with those two things and just relax! I have to run to the store today, so you better bet I’m picking up the necessities to at least make a few dozen of these beauties! Cheers to margarita-o’clock! Pinned! ;)
Sounds like a good plan Chey! Perhaps a few of these are in need after the move! Cheers!
Dear Mary Ann, you’ve outdone yourself! The only thing I love more than a pink cocktail is a margarita and with this beauty I get b both! Don’t be surprised if I show up on your doorstep this weekend so I can enjoy your pub cheese and one (or three) of these margs. SO GOOD! Happy almost-Friday!
Yay! So glad you approve Kelsie! Cheers to almost Fri-yay!
This has Friday night written all over it! Love the color and the flavor!! Have a great weekend, MaryAnn! Pinned!
Yes it does Annie! With a piece of your gorgeous crostata!! Cheers!
Happening this weekend for sure! We love all things cherry this time of year, so I seriously can’t wait to make a couple of these.
Yay! Hope you and Naomi enjoy them Matt!

What a fun drink to pair with a delicious mixer, Mary Ann! Agreed, lets cram in all the cherries we can before the season is over. I’ve been pitting like mad in an attempt to preserve these plump little fruits. I love them so much! I’ve gotta give this beauty a go! Beautiful work!
Thanks Traci! I know, I hate it when the season’s over! I’m stockpiling too! Cheers!

Girl, we are sisters in Margaritaville, because I just concocted a strawberry basil one that is my new obsession. Pinning yours so I can expand into cherries!
Strawberry basil sounds amazing Kate! Cheers!
It’s been a really, really long week, Mary Ann – and this looks so perfect! I’d love a huge glass of this right about now – yes to all things margarita I say – what a gorgeous rich red color!
Then this would be the perfect end to a long week Geraldine! Cheers!
