Well, this isn’t technically juice, although I lovingly refer to it as green juice. It is in fact a smoothie, but green smoothie doesn’t quite have the same ring.
I don’t have a juicer at home, and so many mornings, this is my go-to drink. Plus, it still has all the fiber so it’s a bit more filling. Although, I have never been in the juice or smoothie is a meal camp – I usually have toast with peanut butter or avocado or an egg or in addition.
I have been wanting to share this version for a while – most of my friends now make this combo too – and my dad and grandmother even liked it. It is super simple and it feels great to start the day with a big handful of green goodness. (And in my mind, may balance the wine with dinner.

Green “Juice” Smoothie

I am going to guess that you haven’t had a strawberry margarita in quite a while. And considering that too many are made too syrupy sweet, that is a good thing.
But I have one that will make you remember the genius of the tequila and strawberry combo. Well, rather Back Forty has one, but for upcoming Memorial Day BBQs and parties, I’m going to call it mine, and I think you should too.
What makes you come back for another one on this drink is the black pepper. The rim is coated in a mix of sugar and freshly ground back pepper and it is amazing. I love when pepper is in a bloody mary rim mix, but there it is salty and expected. Here, twinged with a hint of sweet, it is the best kind of almost-summer surprise. Kind of like strawberries themselves. When perfectly ripe, way better than you remember or imagined.
But for all the allure of the rim, the drink itself it simple.
