POM Cello-Rita

Remember a couple of weeks ago I posted my Cello-Rita recipe?  I had come up with the cocktail for a contest that my friend Courtney over at CocoCooks was holding and guess what?  I won!!!  Yay!  Thanks so much Courtney!  Expect to see a lot more drink recipes when I receive the book I won!!!

It’s summer and we spend A LOT of time in and around the swimming pool.  My youngest swims probably about 3 times a day sometimes more.  Here are some pictures of my youngest and our crazy Golden Retriever who really thinks he is one of the kids…

Last Sunday I was chillin’ in the pool.  A necessity in the hot and steamy days of summer here in South West Florida when T. walked out of the house carrying a nice cold drink for me!  When asked what it was he told me to guess.  I took one long sip of it and I knew instantly and it was delicious!!!

POM Cello-Rita

2 parts of Tequila El Conde Azul Blanco (or your favorite tequila)
1 part Limoncello (homemade preferably, thanks Jenn!!!) 
2 parts of your favorite margarita mix
1 part POM Wonderful (hopefully supplied to you by the generous folks at POM Wonderful!)
squeeze of lime

Shake all ingredients and serve over ice.

This is delicious with a salt rim or not. But should be enjoyed on a hot summer day either on the beach or by the pool! Bartender optional but highly recommended!

As Always…

Happy Entertaining!!!

Great twist on this drink. I bet it was so refreshing by the pool.

I can't believe it! I just finished making Jenn's Limoncello and yesterday I received my box of POM Wonderful! I can't wait to try this drink. It looks really good!

I love that picture! I think it is great that your dog enjoys swimming s much...we can't get Pepino near the pool! :-(

This drink looks great - all I need is to get me some tequila, POM and make more limoncello and I am all set! LOL! Maybe I'll just come over instead...

Congrats on your win!
