Season 5 of “Sweet Magnolias” Is Coming Soon!
With a new season of Sweet Magnolias premiering soon, I’ve been binging the previous seasons in anticipation of the release of this new season. The fifth season is reportedly bringing us 10 episodes that will be dropped simultaneously and we’re headed to the Big Apple!
I discovered this wholesome series just last year and quickly fell in love with Maddie, Dana Sue, and Helen. Their friendship, their love life’s, their hardships, and their messy “pour it out” nights have felt like being wrapped in a warm blanket, with a good book in hand, on a rainy day. It’s definitely one of my favorite Netflix series.
To celebrate this new season of Sweet Magnolias along with this years summer season, I’ve created a special Mango-Peach Margarita recipe. This Mango-Peach Margarita paired with blue corn chips and salsa make a perfect pairing to host your own watch party/summer kick-off celebration to celebrate friendship, motherhood, womanhood, summer, and all the small blessings sure to come this summer.
The Longing Peach Mango-Peach Margarita
Mango-Peach Margarita
You will need a blender to mix everything together until its smooth and the ingredients are already frozen, so you do not need ice. This will keep the flavor strong and sweet.
Ingredients:
1 ½ cups of frozen mango chunks
½ cup of frozen peach slices
2 ounces of Silver Patrón Tequila (about 4TBSP)
2 ounces of Minute Maid Mango Punch (a generous splash to help it blend)
2 fresh limes
½ ounce of fresh lime juice (optional)
Tajin Clásico Chili Lime Seasoning Rimmer
Directions
Put the frozen mango chunks and frozen peach slices into the blender first. Pour the Patrón tequila and mango punch over the frozen fruit. If you want a little bit of sour flavor to balance the sweet juice, squeeze in a little fresh lime juice. Blend on high speed until smooth like a slushie. If the blender gets stuck, add another splash of the mango punch to thin the mixture and help the blades spin.
How to Serve
Slide a slice of lime around the rim of the margarita glass to wet the rim, place the glass rim down into the Tajin seasoning and lightly spin to coat the rim of the glass with the seasoning. Slide a thin slice or a wedge of lime onto the rim of the glass as garnish, serve, and enjoy!
As you can see in the photo above, I love tajin seasoning but feel free to use as little or as much as you’d like. You can also use sugar instead of the tajin or skip coating the rim all together.
If you don’t care for tequila, you can replace it with Malibu rum for a tropical mango-peach cocktail instead of a traditional margarita. This can also be made without alcohol by replacing it with the mango punch. My kids have tried it that way and love it.
The whole point to take a moment to enjoy yourself and celebrate not only a new season of Sweet Magnolias but starting a new summer season full of small joys, love, friendship, and messy moments when we feel the need to slow down and “pour it out” from time to time.
Thanks for stopping by and feel free to save this recipe or share it with someone you know that would enjoy it! I’ll be back will a full update and my opinions about Season 5 of “Sweet Magnolias”—Take care!
