Boozey Spring Break & Summer Fave: Margarita Float

 Start your Spring Break off right with a Margarita float! I told my girls one day that I was sippin' on one, and they were quite intrigued! Apparently, this is quite a novel idea, so I hope you all enjoy! It could become your go-to summer bev.

 Lime sherbet (3 scoops)

1.5 oz tequila of your choice
1 oz Triple sec
Equal parts of your favorite non-alcoholic margarita mix & bubbly bev of your choice.
I used Lime seltzer, but you can make it more boozey by using champagne, or you can also use 7up, etc.

**BONUS**
 This recipe can also be modified to use as a Margarita punch for parties!

Semi-Homemade Raspberry Chocolate Chip Cupcakes



These are my Raspberry Chocolate Chip Cupcakes

You'll need:
1 box white cake mix (& required ingredients)
 1 packet Raspberry Jello
1-1.5 cups mini chocolate chips
Frosting of your choice

To make:
Follow the directions to prepare the cake mix, adding in the Jello packet with the dry ingredients. Add the chocolate chips to the batter once it's nice and smooth, and pour into your baking cups. Bake as directed. I pipe the frosting on and actually make my own buttercream frosting, which is super simple as well. You don't have to do that, though. You can use whatever frosting you'd like. If you choose a vanilla buttercream, you can add a few drops of red food coloring to make it pink -OR- You can use a chocolate frosting and garnish with a fresh raspberry :-) 

Happy baking!
