Captain Morgan Holiday Punch Recipes

As Hanukkah, Christmas & New Years rapidly approach, having the right libations to serve your guests (should you be having a party) is as crucial as making sure they don’t drive home drunk. Nothing says “we are getting turned up tonight” like a big bowl of perfectly blended and festively colored punch. These two recipes are classics in our kitchen and go a long way with house party guests especially when the temperatures are steadily dropping outside.

Enjoy Responsibly.

Homemade Strawberry Margaritas

Just in time for the weekend, the weather is finally starting to warm up and  resemble what we call Summertime here in California. I am starting to think that like most people I know, the weather here has become bi-polar and will act however it feels at any given moment.

Today being May 20^th means that it is National Pick Strawberries Day, so we figured we would hit you with a recipe we know will make any afternoon get together or weekend function come to life like a shot of adrenaline straight to the chest.

Margaritas at a house party these days are as common as finding someone passed out in a corner or someone spilling something on your carpet and hiding it from you, either way you view it, it simply means people were getting tore up and having a good time.

The 6 ingredients this recipe calls for are commonly found around the house, ok well at least at our house and unless you live in Utah can be found at any store at any given time of day.

Enjoy these drinks with some chicken fajitas and Spanish rice, that’s how it should be done.
