Tropical Red Bull Margaritas

This post has been sponsored by The Kroger Co. Family of Stores in celebration of #HispanicHeritageMonth. As always, all opinions are my own.

Tropical Red Bull Margaritas – A blend of pineapple, mango, and guava juices is combined with your typical margarita ingredients plus a boost from Red Bull Energy Drink to make these incredible Tropical Red Bull Margaritas. 

Tropical Red Bull Margaritas with a lime, cherry and pineapple speared across the topBefore we get started, today, we’re honoring Puerto Rico with this recipe so I wanted to make sure I send my thoughts and prayers over to the country who is fighting so hard to rebuild what was destroyed by Hurricane Maria.

Alright, guys. Get ready for the second drink recipe in five days. Yup, it’s been that kind of week.

Not only do I have another drink recipe to share with you, but, similar to this Electric Orange Pisco Sour, it’s another drink recipe celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month!

As I’m sure you know by now, Kroger is celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month by featuring remixed recipes of classic Hispanic dishes. I’ve joined them in featuring some remixed recipes of my own. Do you remember them all so far?

With each week of the month, Kroger is featuring remixed recipes for a specific Hispanic country. Starting on Friday, Puerto Rico is the star of the show. I’ll be featuring my favorite Puerto Rican snack with a little Mexican flair so don’t forget to come back and check it out!

Leading into Puerto Rico week, I wanted to feature another Mexican-Puerto Rican remixed recipe. But this one is for drinking.

Margaritas are an absolute must for any celebration. But these are extra special, thanks to the tropical flavors from the pineapple, mango, and guava. Oh, and also because of the kick from Red Bull!

Yup, this is also another recipe featuring the mighty Red Bull Energy Drink. It pairs so well with citrus and tropical flavors so I just had to include it in this tropical margarita.

This here is my Tropical Red Bull Margarita!

I must admit…after making the pisco sour from last week, I didn’t think I could make a better drink with Red Bull in it. Man, was I wrong!

The tropical juice in this drink pairs EVEN better with the Red Bull than the orange juice. All the flavors marry so well together than you can’t distinguish them individually – you just know they collectively taste darn good.

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, Kroger is offering deals on many of the ingredients you need to remix your recipes, including the Red Bull. Don’t forget to check out the coupons from Kroger to save on your purchase of Red Bull for this drink!

When it comes to the other ingredients, the guava juice is my favorite of the three juices here. I grew up eating tons of guava treats. My dad loved guava jelly on his toast so we always had that in the house, too. Guava is super popular in Colombia, where my parents are from. So I was happy to include a little piece of my heritage in this drink.

This is one of the easiest drink recipes you’ll find. There’s no muddling or juicing tons of fruits (just one little lime). To make this recipe, all you’re doing is adding ingredients to a pitcher, stirring, and then serving. That’s it!

To add a little fancy flair to this drink, I garnished with a skewer of fruits. Don’t you just love the pop of color from the maraschino cherry?!

Like I said above, this recipe is one of the easiest drink recipes you’ll make. But just to make sure you get it perfect the first time, here are three more tips for you:

  1. Make sure you’re using original Red Bull for this recipe – not a flavored version.
  2. Always add Red Bull to the pitcher last. The Red Bull will lose its fizz if it’s stirred or shaken too much.
  3. As I stated earlier, the juices I used here were a mix of pineapple, mango, and guava. But you can use any mix of tropical juices that you love. The refrigerated juice section at Kroger has so many premade tropical juice combos so don’t forget to look there for options.

    I love Margaritas. It is actually that time of year where fresh pineapple can be found in grocery stores for cheap. I picked some up this week for .99 cents each. I may make one this weekend!

Today's recipe is the perfect romantic dessert and Today's recipe is the perfect romantic dessert and just what you need for your V-Day needs. 

It's light, flavorful, and looks VERY impressive – the soufflé!

In this version, there's a layer of cherry compote at the bottom of each ramekin with almond cake on top. Cherry and almond are so perfect together, guys. This dessert tastes like heaven!

Here's why you'll LOVE this recipe:
💕 Light almond cake with sweet-tart cherry compote
💕 Looks fancy but surprisingly doable
💕 Perfect for date night at home
💕 That classic cherry-almond flavor combo
💕 Individual servings = so romantic!

Critical tips for souffle success:
1️⃣ Gently fold the egg whites - If you stir too vigorously, they'll deflate and won't help the soufflé rise
2️⃣ Grease AND sugar the ramekins - The sugar helps the soufflé climb up the sides instead of falling back down
3️⃣ Keep oven CLOSED - Do NOT open the door before it's done or it could fall!
4️⃣ Serve immediately - Straight out of the oven for the prettiest presentation

Fun fact: If you want extra tall soufflés, you can add a paper collar to the inside of the dish before filling it with batter. But I definitely don't think it's necessary!

This might be my favorite Valentine's Day dessert ever. That cherry-almond combo is just chef's kiss.

It's soup season, y'all! And I'm bringing you my F It's soup season, y'all! And I'm bringing you my FAVORITE fall comfort food: Salsa Verde Chicken Chili! 

This isn't your typical chili, guys. We're talking shredded chicken, white beans, and a HEARTY salsa verde broth that'll warm you right up on these chilly days!

The best part? It's SO EASY! I use rotisserie chicken so there's barely any prep work. Just shred, dump, and let it simmer for an hour. That's it!

Here's why you'll LOVE this recipe:
✨ Packed with protein and fiber from white beans
✨ Fresh salsa verde flavor (not jarred stuff!)
✨ Ready in about 1.5 hours total
✨ Perfect for meal prep - lasts 3 days in the fridge
✨ Totally customizable with your favorite toppings

And can we talk about the avocado situation? I'd never had avocado in my chili before this, and OH MY GOSH. Game changer! The creaminess + the spices = chef's kiss

Okay I'm taking a break from all this healthy eati Okay I'm taking a break from all this healthy eating. Gimme me all the chocolate!

This Red Velvet Loaf is EXACTLY what I needed after a month of Weight Watchers! Ultra-moist red velvet cake topped with fluffy cream cheese frosting - and the best part? It's a loaf so there's no fussy layering!

Here's why you'll LOVE this recipe:
🔴 Super moist thanks to buttermilk (my secret weapon!)
🔴 Perfect for Valentine's Day or any time you need something red and festive
🔴 Easy loaf format - no cake decorating skills needed
🔴 That classic red velvet flavor with mild chocolate notes

The trick to keeping this cake moist? Don't overbake it! I start checking around the 1-hour mark. Also, gel food coloring is KEY - it won't mess with your batter consistency.

Fun fact: I never even tasted red velvet until I moved to Atlanta! Now it's one of my favorite treats to make.

Okay, story time! Over the holidays, we finally go Okay, story time! Over the holidays, we finally got to visit Gideon's Bakehouse in Orlando, you know, the legendary bakery with the nearly HALF-POUND cookies that everyone raves about? The ones with 2+ hour wait times?

They had a virtual queue going, so we shopped around until it was our turn (thank goodness!). I grabbed a few of their famous cookies, including one that immediately caught my eye: the Banana Bread Chocolate Chip Cookie. 

I'm obsessed with banana and chocolate together, so this was a no-brainer!

And OH MY GOSH. It was even better than I imagined! Not only was it loaded with chocolate and real banana flavor, but it had candied walnuts throughout for this sweet-salty crunch. INCREDIBLE! 

The biggest bummer? You can ONLY get them in Orlando, no online ordering, no shipping. So of course, I decided to recreate them at home! And you guys... I think I got pretty darn close!

What makes these cookies special:
🍌 Real Banana Flavor: Mashed banana (not artificial!) gives them that authentic banana bread taste
🥜 Candied Walnuts: This is KEY—they stay crunchy and add that sweet-salty element
🍫 Double Chocolate: Regular AND large chocolate chips for maximum chocolatey goodness
🍪 Thick & Chewy: Chilling the dough keeps them beautifully thick

I used to love cooking, but during busy weeks it f I used to love cooking, but during busy weeks it felt like a chore. I was too exhausted after work to make anything fun. But with all that time at home, I was able to rethink our favorite foods and make them more achievable for weeknights.

I'd always loved mojo pork (that Cuban citrus-marinated pork that's SO flavorful), but I never made it because traditional pork loin takes FOREVER to roast. But then I had a lightbulb moment: What if I used pork TENDERLOIN instead? 

We eat it all the time because it's lean, quick-cooking, and my husband can grill it in under 30 minutes. Why not marinate it in mojo?

Here's what makes this recipe a weeknight winner:
🍊 The Marinade: Orange juice, lime juice, garlic, cumin, and oregano create that classic Cuban flavor. Just dump everything in a bag and let it work its magic!
⏰ The Timeline: Marinate for 4-24 hours (I usually do overnight), then it's only 25 minutes of active cooking time. Quick sear + oven = done!
🍽️ The Versatility: Serve it with rice and beans, make tacos, top a salad, use for Cuban sandwiches, or meal prep it for the week!

Three critical tips:
-DRY the pork after marinating: This is SO important! Pat it completely dry before searing or you'll steam it instead of getting a beautiful crust
-Use a meat thermometer: Pull it at 145°F for perfectly juicy pork every time. No guessing, no cutting it open repeatedly
-Don't over-marinate: 24 hours max or the texture gets mushy!

This has become one of our absolute go-to meals. It tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen but it's secretly SO easy!
