Summertime

Hanging out by the pool? On a vacation at the beach house? Or just hanging out on your deck or patio? Doesn’t matter – we’re glad you’re here checking out our fine reciopes! Here’s a picture of the blenderking enjoying a tasty Coconut Margarita a couple of years back in the tropical paradise of St. John.

I”m searching out more old photos to add to the site. Somewhere, there’s a collection of me making margaritas in partys past. Given a big birthday is coming up for me, it’s time for a little more history of my margarita recipes.

Also on deck is a blenderking recipe book. Phase one is in progress – good old copywriting. Once the editors do their thing, we’ll post links for you for purchase.

Got any good summertime party ideas? Decorations? Other recipes? Feel free to post them in the comments!

Cinco de Mayo Margaritas

Spike — Sat, 29 Apr 2006 12:29:49 +0000

It’s that time of year and one of the most popular here at blenderking.com. We’re counting down the days, giving our blenders a good spring cleaning, and stocking up our supplies of tequila for this year’s celebration.

As you know, we’ve got 15 margarita recipes for you to choose from, so how do you choose what to make this year? Around here we’ll be drinking Mango Margaritas. Our local Trader Joe’s sells frozen chunks of Mango which are the perfect way to make these.

So we’ve got your refreshments set, what are you going to eat? How about a 7 layer dip recipe? And if you have a Baja Fresh or Rubio’s near by, stop on in and order a couple of dozen Fish Tacos for your party! I enjoyed Rubio’s way back at San Diego State in the 80’s – I always wished I made it to San Felipe, Mexico to the source and inspiration of Ralph Rubio’s creation! If you don’t have one of these fine restaurants nearby, here’s a great page from my good friends Jeff and Nancy with a fish taco recipe down below a bit.

So there you go: instant party:

The decorations are up to you! When your friends ask you about these tasty creations, make sure you mention us here at blenderking.com!

By the way, got any other tips or other recipes? Post them here in the comments for all your friends to see. Are you a flickr user? If so, take pictures of your Cinco de Mayo party and tag them with cincodemayo and blenderking.

Green Margaritas

Spike — Sat, 11 Mar 2006 18:19:52 +0000

It’s time for St. Patrick’s Day. Green beer will make its once a year appearance, but somehow Green Margaritas are left out of the picture. I’ve been to Ireland, and boy I can tell you, that countryside is beautiful and the nickname “Emerald Isle” is well deserved.

Of course, no one associates the Irish with margaritas, but lets see if we can change that. Offer up Green Margaritas for your St. Patrick’s Day parties this year and help start the tradition. There’s two liquors out there for adding the “green”: Midori and green Crème de Menthe.

Oh, look at that, we’ve already got a Midori Margarita for you to use!

So fill up your blender with the tasty green goodness and let us know how good it was!
