Fridays are meant for margaritas, especially during these stay-home orders. While I’ve been doing my best to only have cocktails (or drinks of any kind) on the weekends, my Friday routine has included kicking things off with a Skinny Margarita.

I’ve been squeezing whatever citrus I have on-hand to create everything from Blood Orange Margaritas to a more tart Grapefruit Margarita. There hasn’t been a single, consistent recipe … until now, when I’ve started to make things even more interesting.

My Friday Margarita – Spritzer Style, features a good amount of fresh-squeezed lime juice (obviously) and a surprising, heavy splash of sauerkraut brine. Yes, you read that right. It’s for gut health and balance, or at least that’s what I tell myself as I shake up a boozy batch.

This recipe serves two, or you can just double up and have an extra special Friday for one! This would also be a great refreshing drink to serve at a boozy brunch, perhaps with some chilaquiles.

Welcome

When I was a child, I would come home from school and immediately grab my mom’s red-and-white checkered Better Homes and Gardens cookbook from the cupboard. I loved making the sweet recipes from the ingredient-stained book and presenting them to the family for dessert. I have experimented with cooking and baking my entire life, but as I’ve gotten older I’ve become more tuned in to the foods I’m eating. As a Seattle resident, I’m fortunate to be surrounded by locally grown and sourced foods. I can’t get enough of a good farmers market, and I celebrate knowing the ins and outs of tourist hotspot Pike Place Market.
