Ladybug Creek: "Casuelita" - a refreshing drink from Mexico for Foodie Friday!

I am married to the most wonderful man who I've known more years than I have not! We recently celebrated our 41 years of marriage.
Our oldest son is our business partner. We farm in Mexico, growing papaya, honeydew and person-size watermelon. We travel back and forth to Mexico to take care of our business. This son is married and has two children. He lives in Mexico to oversee the business.
Our middle son works for Clinical Pathology Lab. His wife is a doctor and recently opened her cosmetic dermatology clinic in Houston.
Our youngest son is a realtor in McAllen, Texas, near where we live. He loves his work and his business is steadily growing.
We lived in Mexico for three years to get our farming operation going. It was an exciting time for us!
My hobbies are genealogy, home decorating and cooking. I love blogging!
I am so very blessed to have a loving family... not only the family my husband and I created, but also my family of friends.
Fall and winter months are when I enjoy blogging the most. Seasons change and I love keeping up with the change in my home.
I have had some amazing experiences with my faith in Christ and I truly feel that God is always with me. I try to live my life the way God would have me live it.

"Casuelita" - a refreshing drink from Mexico for Foodie Friday!

"Casuelita"

I wish I could say that we have this name totally correct, but we are 99% sure. We drink these (actually one will do the trick!) in Guadalajara, Mexico. The state of Jalisco produces some of the

finest tequila... in fact, unless the laws have changed lately, it is the ONLY state that is allowed to produce tequila.

This beverage is served in a flat type of pottery bowl. Fresh juice from limes, oranges and grapefruit are squeezed into the bowl. A small amount of ice is added. Then pour tequila over the juices and the fruit. Serve with a straw. Muy sabrosa!! (Great taste!!)
