I’ve been doing this TV bit for a few months now.

Every few weeks I appear at 9:30am on local, live, Fargo, North Dakota TV and make something fun or educational or slightly alcoholic. I never planned on this being a regular thing but they keep asking me back and people get so excited about it. One of my friends even took a picture of her TV while I was on it and posted it to Facebook–so, so sweet!

Morning Margarita Recipe

The last time I was on I made Bloody Marias (basically Bloody Marys but with tequila instead of vodka) and I got so many comments about how there should be more drinking tequila at 9am on TV. So next week I’ll be making this here Morning Margarita because I give the people what they want.

I also think this would be the perfect thing to make for Easter brunch. The recipe makes only one cocktail but you could easily scale it up to make a pitcher. Fresh-squeezed orange juice make it totally appropriate for morning drinking and a splash of black currant-flavored creme de cassis gives it a layered fruity note that would go perfectly with buttery French toast and bacon.

If you’re not local I’ll post the segment here next week after it’s live. In the meantime, try the drink out this weekend and let me know what you think!
