Rhubarb Margaritas

May 5, 2021 by thevettelfarm

Happy Cinco De Mayo! It has been a very fiery week here in North Dakota, so I thought to lighten the mood we definitely need some margaritas in our life!

Did you know you can display flowers in books? Vin Did you know you can display flowers in books? Vintage books are best. 😉 Here’s a little red, white and blue spin on this easy craft, perfect for any season really. 

Find the center of your book. Roll pages to the center to create “pleats”. Tuck faux florals into the pleats or stand your book up and tuck into the top of the pleats!

Jam-o-Rita
Add ice to your jam jar. Shoot for 1 T. of remaining jam in the jar. Add in 1 shot of tequila, lime juice and a few splashes of margarita mix of sparkling water. Shake! I like to rim the jar after this step with lime juice and salt. Enjoy! 🍋‍🟩

P.S. Any type of jam will work!
