Margarita Shortbread Slice
Well why not? Just another take on the always popular Lemon Slice that is everyone's favourite.
We love any excuse to add alcohol to our baking and this turned out really well! I think you will agree. Happy Christmas in July...yep, we are past half way through this year. Can you even deal? (We are planning a big family reunion for Christmas, it just seems impossible!) But I digress. Get this one on your list for anytime of year, but if you need an excuse, I have given it to you!
