I fall in and out of love with cocktails the same way I do with certain recipes. Make them too often and they tend to lose their charm – or more accurately I sort of become immune to their charm(s).

But if I have a little break from them, they suddenly appear shiny and new again. Take Margaritas for example. Usually my go-to cocktail every summer, I almost forget they exist the rest of the year.

I made some classic Margaritas the other day – purely because I was out of other options spirits-wise – and BOOM totally in love with them again.

You know what else I am enamoured with? My little portable photo background my husband made for me. Basically a customised pallet rescued from our kitchen remodel with added wheels, it is perfect for moving around, low enough for easy overhead shots and just a lovely vibrant blue (that was just luck).

I only wonder why I didn’t do this a year ago. I am now slightly completely obsessed with pallets and their many uses :).

Anyway, back to Margaritas. This one is a very refreshing blend of cucumber, lime juice, mint, silver tequila and Grand Marnier – perfect for sipping while watching the final episodes of Mad Men.
