This cucumber and mint margarita is deliciously refreshing – make a big batch as you will certainly want more than one!

This cucumber and mint margarita is deliciously refreshing – make a big batch as you will certainly want more than one!

I fall in and out of love with cocktails the same way I do with certain recipes. Make them too often and they tend to lose their charm – or more accurately I sort of become immune to their charm(s).

But if I have a little break from them, they suddenly appear shiny and new again. Take Margaritas for example. Usually my go-to cocktail every summer, I almost forget they exist the rest of the year.

I made some classic Margaritas the other day – purely because I was out of other options spirits-wise – and BOOM totally in love with them again.

You know what else I am enamoured with? My little portable photo background my husband made for me. Basically a customised pallet rescued from our kitchen remodel with added wheels, it is perfect for moving around, low enough for easy overhead shots and just a lovely vibrant blue (that was just luck).

I only wonder why I didn’t do this a year ago. I am now slightly completely obsessed with pallets and their many uses :).

Anyway, back to Margaritas. This one is a very refreshing blend of cucumber, lime juice, mint, silver tequila and Grand Marnier – perfect for sipping while watching the final episodes of Mad Men.

    I'm exactly the same with food a drink, I can absolutely love something but if I have it too often I get bored and don't eat it for ages. Jon is the complete opposite, I'm pretty sure he'd eat the same thing for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day if I let him.

    I'm very jealous of your palette. I was browsing food gawker recently thing about how nice rough wood looks in all the pictures. I've even found myself staring at crates in a shop the other day. They were surrounded by beautiful furniture but I only have eyes for the crates! I think I'm probably going to get something as they can make photos look beautiful (yours are lovely and you're right, the blue works really well in your pictures).

      You can do so much with found wood (or found anything). I always pick up pallets because even if you can't use them as they are you can repurpose the slats to create beautiful backgrounds. I think my husband has resigned himself to me jumping into skips – he now brings me stuff he finds…

    I do love a good margarita and really love the sound of the cucumber in this. I love all the ideas for pallet uses people come up with on Pinterest. I want some outdoor furniture made out of them!

      Me too Laura! Have you seen some of the fantastic planters and benches made our of pallets? You can even buy them ready made on eBay (but the prices reflect this of course)
