When the dog days of summer roll around, there's nothing quite like sipping on a cold, classic margarita—while devouring some scrumptious Mexican food, of course. After all, it is 5 o'clock somewhere! But anyone with furry friends knows how it feels to have them circling your feet as you partake... and don't you just wish they could join you? Well, what if we told you they actually can! Yep, a new dog-friendly margarita recipe has gone viral on TikTok, and all the pups are just howling for it.
We already spoil our dogs with long walks, the best food, dog beds, collars, and plenty of new toys. And if you're anything like the Drummonds, they also get an outdoor splash pad! So, why not treat them to their own tasty drink too? Insert: the pawgarita! The dog-friendly recipe created by TikToker @RyderTheDal has garnered more than five million views since she first posted it, so it's definitely approved by the whole pack. 😍
To make this doggone good drink, here's what you'll need: cucumber, lactose-free yogurt or unsweetened applesauce, bone broth, and ice. You'll also need crushed up treats or kibble for the rim... but that comes later.
First things first, add all of the ingredients (minus the treats/kibble) to a blender then blend it all together until you've got a smooth consistency. Next, you'll prepare the glass by dipping it in yogurt or applesauce. After that, roll the glass in crumbled dog treats or kibble. Finally, add the pawgarita to the glass and bone appétit! 🦴
And as @RyderTheDal says, your pup should "Taste test everything before, during, and after. Your role as a dog is quality control." 😂 We think they can definitely get behind that! Here's to the happiest happy hour with your hounds!
