Sipping Saturday
The temperatures are rising in my little corner of the world. Light meals followed by refreshing beverages are currently on our menu. Fresh fruit for breakfast, agua fresca and paletas are what we crave. Lucky me, our endless supply of fruit continues to fuel my margarita obsession. Today I share with you a papaya margarita. Enjoy! Sweet Life
Sunshine bright chunks of papaya are juiced then combined with tequila. Add a dash of lemon serve over ice for a thirst quenching Saturday margarita. Have great weekend!

It’s about 45 degrees here so I’m going to make one of these and pretend I’m at the beach and it’s 95. I’m just a tropical child!!
Hi Jane~
LOL< Enjoy~ Vianney
This is really different! I just happened to buy a papaya this weekend and have to try this out! Gorgeous color and looks so refreshing! Thanks for stopping by my blog, I’m so glad to have found yours.
I will need to rush home now and see if there is any portion of papaya remaining…seriously delightful margarita and such a perfect fruit to star 🙂
these are gorgeous! i am in awe of all of your recipes and pretty pics!
I enjoy papaya as a fruit! Your margarita is ingenious idea, indeed!
Papayas in DC are hard to come by, sadly. I still think about the papaya I ate on vacation in Hawaii. (Four years ago.) It was Heh-VUN! Add tequila…yes, please!
What a gorgeous color. Almost to pretty to drink. Love your new header.
I love papaya, but never thought in making margarita out of it…will have to give this one a try. Lovely color as well. Hope you are having a great week 🙂
Ps. Just wanted to let you know I received a blog award and am now passing it on to you! Stop by when you have a minute for details!
I love this drink. Margarita is one of my favorite cocktails but never tried it with papaya before. I must!

Oh Bonnie your endless supply of fruits for margaritas are surely gonna put in trouble. I wish I could drink the picture itself or lived nearby you. BTW strawberry margarita they were awesome and turned out to be party pleaser.
That’s a beautiful color, and it’s refreshing just to look at this cocktail!
I love papayas and know that I would love this. What do you do with the papaya seeds? Someone told me that they can be roasted?
Want. One. Now!!!
Yum yum yum!! What is your all-time favorite marg?
Bonnie, this margarita looks incredible! I love that you added papaya, too. My husband made me something very similar recently with muddled watermelon… It was like I died and went to heaven. Thank God for margarita season – It’s finally upon us!!
Que deliciosa Margarita! I only need the warm weather and sunshine to complete the experience.
I need to make it a point to travel to your house every Weekend so we can have sips of these fine margaritas you keep posting!
I am beginning to think your Saturdays are the best day of the week, so are these refreshing cocktails…
Drool!
I DEFINITELY need one of these with this heat wave we have right now! yum!
oh this is way to fun! I love it!
The color is so beautiful! The papaya looks perfectly ripe! I’d love to have a glass of this, or two 🙂
Soon I’ll be back at ‘home’ in Nigeria where pawpaws (papayas to you) are ripe and plentiful! I’ll be chilling in the heat….sipping on some …juice!
Lovely! This looks so tasty 🙂 Love papaya
Oh yum! We have an abundance of papaya here on the island so these margaritas will be made soon.

What a bright happy treat!!
I feel like the warm breeze blowing in my hair just from looking at this! So refreshing.
wow, This one looks great, is there any substitute for Cointreau?
Oh, it looks gorgeous! That is a fabulous drink.
Cheers,
