    I love Raspberry Margaritas. Tequila, lime juice, and raspberry puree get mixed together to make a drink that's a little bit tart and a little bit sweet. It's perfect for a party or a Tuesday.

    Raspberry Margarita | How to be Awesome on $20 a Day

    This weekend I managed to actually achieve something I had convinced myself I would probably never do. I can't even remember the first time I tried to complete a Couch to 5K programme, but it was in Hawaii, and before I went into the hospital, so it had to be at least early 2015. Possibly before that. I would always start out with the best of intentions, but inevitably, I'd end up quitting by the third week. Sometimes I had to quit for very good reasons, like my lung collapsed. But most of the time, I'd just lose all motivation and couldn't drag myself off the couch to engage in a mind-numbingly boring exercise routine. 

    This time, I used a different app, One You Couch to 5K. It comes from the NHS here in the UK, and they got some BBC personalities involved, so I had the adorable Sarah Millican as my running coach. She cheered me on, called me flower, and promised me I could make it to the end. Pretty sure I yelled at her a few times, but she won me over in the end. There are five different coaches to choose from, so you can find the person who motivates you the most. One of them is American track Olympian Michael Johnson. I found this a bit intimidating and opted for a woman who looked like she might like cookies as much as I do. With the help of this app, I've now completed nine weeks of running three times a week, and I think I might continue on my own.

    What makes Raspberry Margaritas so awesome?

    Because life is all about balance, I've made us a cocktail to celebrate. Raspberry Margaritas are sweet, tangy, potent, and so awesome. There's a good amount of raspberry puree in this cocktail, so it's super fruity. This makes them extremely easy to drink, so I guess it's a good thing that this recipe only makes four. Plus, the color is just gorgeous.

    We're making this drink in the blender, but it's not a frozen margarita. I suppose you could chuck in a bunch of ice, but to me that just means you end up with a watery margarita. I prefer them on the rocks. If, like me, you have a cheap hand-me-down blender, you'll want to strain out the seeds. If you have like a kick ass Ninja blender or something, your seeds will probably be neatly pulverized by the blender magic. We're also rimming the glass in a combination of caster sugar and coarse sea salt because life should be salty and sweet, and so should your Raspberry Margarita.

    I still hate running. I'm not turning into a fitness nut. I have every intention of continuing to drink cocktails and eat cheese and chocolate. But now I know I can run (as slow as I want) for 30 minutes without dying, and I can do it three times in a week. Let's celebrate life's little successes with a Raspberry Margarita. Cheers!

    Ingredients

    Units Scale
    • 1 cup tequila
    • ¾ cup triple sec
    • ¾ cup frozen raspberries
    • 1 cup lime juice
    • ⅓ cup caster sugar
    • 2 teaspoons sugar, for rimming the glass (optional)
    • 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt, for rimming the glass (optional)

    Instructions

    1. Add the tequila, triple sec, raspberries, lime juice, and caster sugar to your blender. Blend until your raspberries are pureed.
