Sweet Star Spangled Vodka Margarita

Nothing says Happy Fourth of July or Memorial Day like a patriotic cocktail or two! So, in the spirit of all things red, white, and blue we whipped up a batch of our Sweet Star Spangled Vodka Margaritas (two ways) for the fireworks illuminated summertime occasions. 

During the summer months, we love to entertain our family and friends. Usually, we get together on Memorial Day or the Fourth of July for a cook-out. Having the right type of alcohol is important. Considering SVEDKA is a top ten spirit brand in the USA (Source: Adams 2015), I know it’s the right vodka to get any party started. Imported from Sweden to the US,  SVEDKA is now the #1 imported vodka (Source: Adams 2015)!

SVEDKA helped put the bang in our Sweet Star Spangled Vodka Margarita. It’s a vodka with a smooth, bold taste. It has a clear crisp taste, and easy mixability and versatility. Plus, I love how they package their products. This SVEDKA Limited Edition Stars & Stripes party bottle fits right in with the patriotic theme. 

Check out how I put together this patriotic margarita two different ways with just a few ingredients! 

Ingredients:

• 3-ounces SVEDKA Limited Edition Stars & Stripes
• 1-ounce sweetened lime juice
• 1-once red Grenadine
• 1-ounce blue curaçao simple syrup
• 1 1/2 cups party ice

Drink responsibly, and never drink and drive
