Orange Creamsicle Margarita

This frozen, Orange Creamsicle Margarita is a refreshing blend of tequila, ice cream, Triple Sec, orange and lime juices.  A sugared rim and garnishment of fresh fruit completes this decadent margarita that will have you ready for spring.

I’m so ready for warmer weather and am hoping that drinking a few frozen cocktails will have things feeling a bit more spring around here.  Temperatures in the 40’s and rain just aren’t what I had in mind for this week.  This margarita definitely cured my cold-weather blues!

I’m such a sucker for a good margarita and can’t get enough of this orange creamsicle flavor.  It just reminds me of those popsicles I used to love so much as a child (and now).  Those frozen delights inspired this cocktail and my favorite, Pineapple Orange Creamsicle Mimosas.  You could do either one of these citrus dreams for brunch as far as I’m concerned.

Is anyone else wondering how the heck Easter is next weekend?  I’ve been slacking off big time on all my grandiose recipe plans for this blog.  I was going to have chocolate eggs, a new french toast casserole, mimosa bar and brunch bread.  Well, all I seem to have is this cocktail right now. 

Tomorrow will have to be the beginning and end of operation Easter recipes.  I’ll be lucky to get one thing posted before the whole thing is straight up over and out.  It is such a circus around here sometimes and I literally, will be at the circus with my kids tomorrow.  Let’s see if I can motivate myself to wake up early and get things pumping before creepy clowns ensue.

I will leave you with my top picks for Easter brunch for a little bit of inspiration before the big day.  Overnight Apple French Toast Casserole is a family favorite and present at every single brunch that I host.  An Easy Fruit Pizza and good Egg Casserole are a couple of other greats that everyone will be sure to love.  A Peach Pie Bellini or Orange Creamsicle Mimosa will spruce up the menu and keep things egg-citing (no pun intended).

If you love these Orange Creamsicle Margaritas, be sure to check out my cocktail page for more boozy inspiration.  A Moscato Dole Whip or Harry Potter Butterbeer Ice Cream will keep you cool for the summer.
