Smoky Margarita

I feel like Julie in Julie & Julia right now because all I want to say about this drink is “Grilled fruit is a revelation!” I got my husband to grill a bunch of fruit for me when he was doing kebabs last weekend and I couldn’t stop smelling the limes. They smelled like honey and pie and all kinds of things that they definitely don’t smell like when they aren’t grilled.

I really, really enjoyed this drink. I don’t know if it tasted super different from a regular non-grilled margarita but the grilled fruit slices on the glasses were so delicious that I don’t even care.

I’m pretty excited to grill some more fruit for drinks, starting with the Grilled Peach and Jalapeno Margarita that Nicole made this week. The only way to improve a margarita is to add a little kick and those look amazing!
