Alabama Sky Margaritas
Alabama has had its fair share of shout-outs in music history, from Sweet Home
Alabama, “where the skies are so blue,” according to Lynyrd Skynyrd – to, fittingly,
Alabama’s Alabama Sky. Whether you’re looking to rock out or chill out this holiday,
you’ll want to do so while sipping our next favorite, the Alabama Sky Margarita.
INGREDIENTS
2 Cups Sour Mix
1 ¼ Cups Blue Curaçao
½ Cup Tequila
1 Lemon, wedged
1 Lime, sliced into thin circles (for garnish)
Blue sugar crystal sprinkles or sanding
sugar (to rim glasses)
LIQUOR INCLUDED IN

USE ANY BRAND OF YOUR CHOICE!
Combine Sour Mix, Blue Curaçao, and
Tequila together in a pitcher. Stir well. Chill
for 2 hours. Pour out blue sugar crystal
sprinkles or blue sanding sugar into a bowl.
To serve, take one lemon wedge and run
it all the way around the rim of the glass,
then immediately dunk the glass into the
bowl of sugar. Fill glass with ice and pour
in the Alabama Sky Margarita mixture. Gar-
nish with a lime circle.

Georgia Peach Frozen Margaritas
This drink is not for the faint of heart. We couldn’t not include at least a splash of
SoCo to pay homage to the traditional Georgia Peach cocktail, so party-goers
beware. The drink will transform into a Margarita before your very eyes with the
substitution of Sour Mix for orange juice. Sip while wearing a wide-brimmed hat.
INGREDIENTS
1 ½ Cups Sour Mix
1 Cup frozen peaches
½ Cup Peach Vodka
½ Cup of Peach Schnapps
Splash of Southern Comfort
1 Fresh Peach, sliced but not peeled
(for garnish)
Fresh Raspberries, rinsed (for garnish)
Red sugar crystal sprinkles or sanding
sugar (to rim glasses)
In a blender, combine the Sour Mix, frozen
peaches, vodka, a splash (define “splash”
with personal preference) of Southern
Comfort, and the schnapps. Blend until
smooth. Add ice as needed to reach de-
sired consistency. Serve immediately in a
sugar-rimmed glass. Garnish with fresh
raspberries and peach slices.
