Don’t you remember? I told you Monday that I had margarita plans for you guys today. Like I said, I went a little Margarita crazy. I couldn’t help myself. I bought a whole stink’n bottle of Tequila and for the price of what I paid you better believe I was going to put it to good use. Seriously, who knew liquor was so much money. Obviously, NOT me.
Anyway, I have had a whole lot fun testing out these fun margarita recipes. Actually, I should say my mom and I have. The day I made these my mom walked in the door from hiking and I literally shoved one doughnut in her mouth, asked her what she thought and then proceeded to stuff another in her mouth, asking, “which one was better”. Mind you she still had on her boots, all of her snowy hiking clothes and had barely stepped two feet inside the house. Pretty sure she did not mind being greeted with strawberry margarita doughnuts though (especially since she proceeded to have 2 more after lunch).
The two of use stood by the front door, going back and forth between the two salted pink doughnuts I held in either hand trying to decide which frosting we liked better. I think we stood there for five minutes taking multiple bites from each doughnut. Liking the frosting of one, taking a full bite out of the other to get the “full effect”. The bottom line is we knew upon the first bite which frosting we liked best, but continued to stand by the front door eating bite after bite until both doughnuts we gone. Finally once our fingers were licked clean, and not a crumb was in sight (really I am not sure even a dog could have found one) we declared what we knew all along, the second doughnut’s frosting was better.
Now that I am siting here writing this I am beginning to think that this is not a normal occurrence in people lives. Please tell me you guys greet people at the door with doughnuts, that you then proceed to feed them before they even take off their snowy shoes (oh that’s right, you probably don’t have a foot of fresh snow on the ground anymore)? Oh and those said doughnuts, they’re full of tequila, and it was only 11:00am. Ah say what? You don’t? Oh….. well I think maybe, maybe you should.
Seriously, can we talk about how cute these are! I mean for one they are the perfect shade of pink (oh and trust me, Asher loved this) and two, with that salt on top they seriously make you think of a strawberry margarita. Honestly, don’t they just make you think of a hot summer day? Geez! I can not get over how cute they are, well, at least I think they’re cute!
Alright I do have to say that these are a little high maintenance, but again look at them, they’re pink and sparkly. Oh and they are filled with the most delicious strawberry margarita pastry cream!! Even my chocolate loving mom agreed that this doughnut is a special one. The best part is the strawberry margarita pastry cream. It is so silky and smooth, it’s almost like a sweet strawberry ice cream. Then come the buttery strawberry margarita frosting and the lime glaze swirled on top. Put it all together and it makes for one seriously killer strawberry margarita doughnut. It is perfect for Cinco De Mayo, but would also be great for Mother’s Day or any spring/summer day!
I really can not describe how awesome these are. It is like a strawberry margarita, but BETTER! And yes, there is a whole lot of tequila in this thing (but it can be left out for the kiddos or anyone else who prefers no alcohol)!!
It’s Friday, Cinco De Mayo is Sunday and it is most definitely 5 o’clock somewhere. That means it is so time for a strawberry margarita doughnut!
