Do you ever get a craving for a really great Margarita? You have got to try this, it’s called a Texas-tini.  Texas-tini Why you might ask?; well because it is a blend of the ever delicious margarita but stronger like a Martini. Why Texas?, because I am kick ass like that.  Just try it ok, then you will know Texas-tini’s are kick ass!

Woo, I am feeling feisty today! ha!

No really I got this recipe from my kick ass Aunt Sannie (there I go again) several years ago and have been craving it ever since.  So I am so happy to be in possession of this recipe and now I can whip one up at my leisure.

Ingredients:

2 Shots of tequila, 1 shot triple sec or grand marnier, 2 shot’s sweet and sour, 1 shot orange juice, 1/2 squeezed lime, splash of sprite, salt and olives for garnish
