This post was a fun impromptu idea we had that somehow ended up sliding into totally perfect timing. For one, it’s Margarita Monday, which is always worth celebrating in our books. Second, Casamigos sent us some of their amazing tequila to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, but we hadn’t had a chance to crack open a bottle for something fun yet. Finally, it’s really actually Spring outside this long weekend! With no sign of disappearing again! And if that isn’t a reason to dream up some crazy hot pink slushies then I don’t know what is.
After we’d already shot the images and worked out the recipe for this post, our friends at Vitamix decided to up the ante. That’s right, we’re giving away the best blender in the whole wide world (a Black 5200 model to be exact)!!! We’ve had ours since we moved into #ThePastelPalace and it has seriously changed our entire kitchen game, so we’re crazy excited to share a machine with one of you!
How’s that for a post-long weekend blues deterrent?
Basically you have one week (till next Monday morning to be precise) to enter as many times/ways as humanly possible… here’s what you have to do (it’s a fun one!)
MANDATORY //
1. Like the Vitamix Facebook page (here) and the RAOP Facebook page (here)
2. Follow both Vitamix and RAOP on Instagram.
BONUS POINTS //
-Follow RAO_P on Snapchat (note- there will be extra chances to get bonus points on Snapchat throughout the week!)
-tag a friend in my Instagram post who you think might need a new blender!
-Follow us both on Twitter (here and here)
-Follow us both on Pinterest (here and here)
-Comment on this post with a list of everything you did at the END of the week.
The more points you compile, the higher chances you have of winning the grand prize! So what are you waiting for?
Still thirsty? Scroll down for the recipe!
Ingredients //
Yields 2 large glasses
1 dragonfruit
1 handful of frozen strawberries
1 can of frozen limeade concentrate
1/2 cup ice
3 oz Casamigos tequila
Strawberry sugar (recipe here) for rimming
Recipe //
1. Rim your glasses with sugar (we used strawberry sugar that I picked up in France, but you can make your own like this)
2. Cut your dragonfruit into two halves. One half can be roughly chopped and thrown in the blender with the rind still attached, the other should be cut into slices for garnishes.
3. Blend all remaining ingredients on high in your Vitamix until smooth.
4. Pour, top with as many pink decorations as you can find, and serve with a side of Spring sunshine!
This drink sounds so good & is SO PRETTY.

To end my week I always go to FARMERS MARKET FRIDAY! Stock up on tons of yummy fruits n veggies for the week. I look forward to it all week. Friday is also errand day in general, its the one day I have off work that the kiddo is still in school so I have to race and get everything done so I dont have to drag him to stores through the weekend. Then I end it with a major couch flop and glass of wine… Maybe with a new vitamix I could flop to one of these yummy margaritas ?
I did everything but Twitter. I follow both on Pinterest, Facebook. Instagram, and follow you on snapchat. I’m also tagging someone on instagram
