Rigby Rita for National Tequila Day

Tuesday was National Tequila Day, and what better way to celebrate than with a margarita. This also gave me the perfect opportunity to make my favorite recipe (The Rigby Rita)….with my favorite kitchen appliance (the Vita Mix, of course)….and, with my best friend Jessica.


I am guessing if you haven’t been in my kitchen lately that you haven’t had the chance to try a Rigby Rita. So keep on reading so you can have your chance…


Ingredients:
1 large orange (2 if they are small)
1 large lemon de-seeded (2 if they are small)
1 lime
3 shots of tequila
1 shot of Gran Marnier
1 tbsp of the sweetener of your choice.
**Note: I like agave nectar, Jessica prefers Stevia, but plain old sugar works,
About 1 cup of ice.

Directions: Toss everything in the Vitamix and blend by slowly bringing the speed up to 10, for about 40 seconds.

Can you see we like to keep it simple around here? Drink up and enjoy, Rigby Rita style!!

Cheers!
