Today is a very exciting day on Just KaliRae. Today you’ll find the famous recipe for my margaritas! This is a concoction that everyone is always asking me how to make. The original recipe came from my college roommate’s mom, but I made some alterations to it along the way.

These margs are a staple at any summer lake house trip. They’re the perfect day drinking refreshments
But the drink also worked with the color scheme for our mom’s 60th birthday party and paired perfectly with the Mexican food we served for dinner.
Here’s the recipe I used to fill that giant drink dispenser:
Mix all the following together…
- 4 cans of frozen limeade (thawed)
- one handle of tequila
- one 2 liter bottle of sprite zero
- fill the empty 2 liter bottle with water and add
- 4 beers
Here’s the recipe I use to make one pitcher size:
Mix all the following together in a pitcher…
- 1 can frozen limeade (I often mix it up by using raspberry limeade/lemonade mix, too!)
- fill the empty can from the limeade with tequila
- fill the can with sprite zero
- fill the can with water
- 1 beer

Alongside the margs we gave guests the option of using straws. Cort bought these from the Etsy shop Hey Yo Yo. Aren’t they cute? Even Brian liked ‘em.
We are two sisters who love cooking, DIYing, entertaining, traveling, a good glass of wine (or two or three), photography, and pretty much anything where we can use our creativity. Our main mission is to keep an online journal in hopes of inspiring ourselves daily. If we happen to inspire others along the way, it would be an added bonus.





I am a 25 year old recent newlywed to my husband, Brian. I live in the suburbs of Chicago in a 25 year old condo. Yes, my house and I are the same age (my house being the one needing redecorating and updating). I love trying out new recipes, DIYing works of art to decorate my home, working on my photography skills, and above all making time for my family and friends (particularly my big sister Cortney). During the week you can find me wearing kaki’s and cardigans, as I am a second grade teacher. My goal is to use the creativity I use in my classroom on a daily basis in other realms of my life.
I am a 29 year old Chi-Town city gal living in a cozy condo with my boyfriend, Jeff. Monday through Friday I go by Miss Schmitt, as my main gig is working as a speech-language pathologist at a school in the burbs. Beyond my day job, I adore decorating, finding treasures at flea markets, seeking new adventures in the city, laughing, indulging in anything sweet, and spending time with friends and family (especially my lovely sis, Kali). Read along as I share my hopes, dreams, and outcomes (the good and the bad!).
