Peaches. Plums. Pears.
These are my 7yr old’s request each time I announce that mommy is heading to the grocery store. She’s a doll, but I can never seem to shimmy enough plums from her to make a margarita.
She dices plum into her oatmeal, drizzles them with honey alongside a thick slice of cheese and even suggests that plum juice would make a great salad dressing, she was spot on, amazing.
A spontaneous trip to the park with hubby finally gave me the freedom to steal a few plums. Fresh plum juice, tequila and lime. Enjoy!

Dumb question: How do you juice a plum? I’m wanting this right now! Looks so good.
Hi Laurin,
I use a juicer to juice my pluam, but you can use a blender and simply strain. Hope you give the margarita a try~ Enjoy!
Oh..how wonderful the Margarita look! Lovely color and beautiful choice of fruit.
The color…the fruitiness and the good cheer that comes with this drink is superb.
Bonnie…I could only wonder if you’ve got an upcoming cocktail recipe book up your sleeve ;o) Hmmm.
Flavourful wishes,
Claudia
