Orange Persimmon Margarita
Confession: The plan was to make a salad. This salad. I’m not sure when the salad plan went awry and the juicer came out.
Funny how that happens.
The outcome was gorgeous. I am simply in love with this shade of orange.
Like sunshine in a glass..that you drink…mixed with tequila. This margarita made my week. Gloomy days got a kick of citrus flavor swimming in persimmon sweetness. Enjoy!!

This has tasty and refreshing written all over it–love the color, too!
How on earth did I miss this margarita??? I LOVE that gorgeous orange color. It looks just like the bright sunny weather outside my window. 🙂 The flavor combination sounds wonderful.
Amazing combination of flavours. CI would love to try that fantastic margarita.
Cheers,

Haha the juicer probably came out once that tequila craving hit. 😛 Or when you realized just how delicious this would be. LOVE persimmons.
You are the margarita queen!
So, the plan was to make a salad. But instead, you made a boozy cocktail instead? Love it! Some days are just meant for revised plans like that. 😉
Such a pretty drink! I totally get the ‘sunshine in a glass’ vibe 🙂 I think my poolside table is just BEGGIN for one of these margaritas!
Wow! I’m not a fan of the colour orange, but THAT one I could get used to. 😉 I love finding new ways to enjoy margaritas!
I loved that salad too…but not sure I mind the detour 🙂 The color is gorgeous!
Happy weekend, hugs
Sometimes our best work show up when we least expect it. Always have to be open to different ideas. Great flavors here.
I want to live with you — because you always tempt us with margaritas. Not regular, but delicious and creative margaritas!
Cheers 😀
This is the third wonderful citrus cocktail I’ve seen today—could it have something to do with the fact that we’re all stuck in mid-February? This looks luscious!
Do you need a juicer to get fresh persimmon juice?
Love the combination of flavors you used to create this delicious looking margarita! Makes me crave summer… mmm!
Hum – it’s going to take awhile to figure out how a salad turns into a margarita. That’s a new one on me. 🙂 But I have to say, if it weren’t 9:30 am, I’d be in there making this margarita! It does look delicious! Oh hell, it’s 5 pm somewhere. 🙂 Have a great weekend! Thanks for the ping to my salad!
he he fun salad love it
Yes! Seriously, it makes me happy just looking at the sunny, orange color of this margarita. I’m thinking I need some tasty margs this weekend…and I know just the resource (the Margarita Queen…that would be you), of course! 😉
Ha! I was wondering what kind of margarita I should have this afternoon. Great idea!
I’ve only baked/cooked with persimmon once, but loving your drink idea!
Delicious!
Cheers,
Rosa
