Green juice margaritas are perfect for when you want to be healthy but also want to get hammered.
I first tried one of these a few years ago at Broken Spanish in downtown LA and have been hooked ever since. For whatever reason, the taste of the green juice melds incredibly well with tequila.
I like to make my own green juice blend specifically to complement the alcohol in this recipe, but if you don’t have a juicer or want to save time, you can just pick up a bottle of already made green juice.
Tiny clothespins & dehydrated limes seem to be all the rage in the garnish world right now, so I hopped on that bandwagon.
To make the dehydrated limes, I simply sliced a lime and placed in my dehydrator for 24 hours at 165 degrees F.
To really bring the garden, spring vibe through I also used edible flowers that I’ve been growing in my garden. They were ready just in time for this recipe.

What a refreshing way to enjoy tequila! I won’t go to the trouble to make my own juice, but I will try this out with some store bought stuff. Thanks for the idea.
