Margarita Scones

You will love that you can take these Margarita Scones with you anywhere you’d like because you won’t need to hide it in a paper bag and look like you are sneaking around with some unlawful substance you’re not supposed to have on the street.   

Whip these out with pride… they are so yummy!

Margaritas are my favorite drink!

I do often wish I could walk around with one, it must be that delicious lime taste along with the salt. I have mentioned before how much I love salt, right?

These scones are the perfect combination of all the wonderful taste of a great Margarita.

If you like lemon scones,these will give you a run for your money!

I didn’t forget one of the best part of eating scones, it’s curd….if you have lemon scones, lemon curd is delicious.

For these Margarita Scones Margarita Curd was a must have.

Fruit Curd is so delicious, scones are almost naked with out them! It’s like pudding so if you haven’t had any yet…. look out you’re bound to lick it off the spoon and enjoy.

Margaritas are a classic flavor that you’ll now enjoy in a whole new way!
