24 days and counting, is what Joe and I have been doing, gearing up for our 10 year wedding anniversary back home in Hawaii. So I thought it would be fun (and appropriate) to share a little end of the week Aloha-Friday cocktail.

Of course mango margaritas aren’t the norm when I go back home. Really just juices and smoothies loaded with my mom’s lilikoi from her tree. That’s what I can’t wait to devour! That and home-grown mangos from the farmers market. There is nothing like a mango from Hawaii. Sweet and perfectly ripe and permeating with tropical aroma. Did I mention 24 days and counting?

I was is more of a Cinco de Mayo mindset when I thought of this recipe. Though I have to admit, I would have rather made this with rum (and I did), or really just nothing at all and calling it a lassi. But the tequila won me over as I was making guacamole for our carne asada tacos the other day. But no, It’s all about the theme, people.
