It’s hot out there and the summer swelter has us all yearning for an iced, cold beverage or two (hundred). Try this fun, fruity and refreshing twist on a classic frozen concoction. Pour four fluid ounces of Blue Crab Bay Get Beached Spiced Margarita Mixer in ice cube trays and freeze. Place a bottle of Mattaponi Strawberry wine in the freezer until slushy. In a blender add six cups of ice and pulse for about 20 seconds. Pour in six ounces of tequila, two ounces of triple sec, a handful of frozen strawberries, eight ounces of slushy strawberry wine and the frozen cubes of margarita mix. Pulse until blended smooth. Pour into your favorite margarita glass and serve with a sugared rim and sliced strawberry garnish.
