    you could have a strawberry citrus margarita, but why not make it into a strawberry citrus margarita float with a scoop of ice cream?

    it feels like only yesterday, work was gogogogogo. now, it's so... mellow. i did somehow end up planning an asian pacific american heritage month event for my office, complete with snacks and a boba tasting. we're getting co-workers to submit asian american themed trivia to 1) encourage participation and 2) ensure that the questions are reasonable for the office (ahem, not solely geared to someone asian american and/or in their 20s). if i were in charge of this part, the questions would be something like this japanese american singer/songwriter saw youtube success with one of her earliest songs, "valentine", and covered "can't help falling in love" in crazy rich asians (2018). which maybe a person could guess correctly, but not holding my breath.

    other things spicing up my life? joining kate from ¡hola! jalapeño's marg week! you may have heard that i like my alcohol with a little bit of ice cream (ahem, kahlua oreo mcflurries), so how could i not spruce up this strawberry citrus margarita with my old friend Vanilla into a strawberry citrus margarita float? plus a handful of freeze dried strawberries ground up and mixed into the salt for the rim. it's perfect for those almost summer vibes, especially if you can't find great strawberries yet (if they're not sugar sweet yet, you can't tell in this margarita with all the ice cream!).

    In case you weren't sold by a super fruity strawberry citrus margarita, how about making it into a strawberry citrus margarita float with vanilla ice cream?! #strawberry #citrus #margarita #tequila
