Margaritas are a beach favorite, especially for our pop. We came up with this blend last summer, and a year later this simple recipe still hits the mark. It’s the perfect balance of sweet + tart with the right hint of tequila shining through. Seeing that there’s still two weeks until Labor Day, you’ll have plenty of time to blend up this classic summer drink.

Classic Margaritas

1/4 cup simple syrup
1/2 triple sec
3/4 fresh lime juice
1 cup clear tequila
ice
salt

Fill a blender with ice, add the remaining ingredients except salt, and blend. Pour the mixture into glasses with salted rims (we just use some of the blended cocktail to wet the rims before dipping them in salt).

Give a little toast to the end of summer and enjoy every last drop. xo

Mint is our ingredient of the season. Look out for a season of cool posts.

This post was originally published in 2014. We’re republishing it this week because everyone’s at the shore and in need of a good foot scrub. We love the extra heft that the sand brings to this one.

A few weeks ago we shared ideas for rosemary body scrubs, reminding you that exfoliating goes a long way towards making your stems smooth with every shave. Did you try it out? What did you think? Today’s scrub will also work on your legs, but we think it makes a refreshing foot scrub. The sand and salt give it a bit more scrubbing power where it’s needed, the coconut oil will soften and hydrate, and the mint will cool your hard-working soles.
