3 years ago, I met this man. Nick and I randomly met (at a bar, yes) and two months later, he asked me to move in with him! Holy cow! 2 months after he asked me to move in with him, I sold most of my belongings, quit my job and moved from the city I was completely in love with (San Diego) and headed north 2 hours to a suburb just outside of Los Angeles called La Verne. We've been living and loving life together ever since!
I'm warming up for the weekend today with one of our favorite cocktails...the margarita! Our standard cocktail of choice is usually vodka + club soda or red wine (we're health nuts), but sometimes we get a hankering for one of those classic limey salty thirst-quenching mixtures in a glass! I know, I know, I know...margaritas are usually sipped on by the pool in the summer rays of sunshine, so that's why I'm sharing a blood orange margarita recipe with you today! I at least wanted to get the color correct for this beautiful Fall season!
