Blue Frozen Margaritas

Ok, this may be the last time I make anything margarita-ish.

Probably not, but maybe.

Doubtful, but could be.

I feel like Memorial Day is the first official day of the real summer.  Even though it technically takes place in the spring time, the celebration is an invitation to start enjoying the sunshine.

In the community I live in, we have a big Memorial Day celebration complete with a chicken barbeque, live entertainment, marching band contests, bagpipe concerts, snow cones and a big parade of antique care shows and fire trucks.

One of my favorite things to do on Memorial Day Weekend is eat boatloads of barbequed chicken and salt potatoes, washed down with frozen cocktails.

My favorite is a three-part frozen concoction with a patriotic twist for the holiday.  Since it's a long weekend, I'm going to go easy with the recipe-making and give you some yummy drinks to help you celebrate.  Three steps in three days.

If I can wait that long!

Happy Memorial Day and enjoy your long weekend!
