Cinco de Mayo Margarita Round Up

by | Entertaining, Sips

A margarita is probably my favorite cocktail.  But I’m picky.  I really prefer them “on the rocks,” but I do like my husband’s frozen version.  In honor of Cinco de Mayo tomorrow, I wanted to share my favorite Margarita recipes.

Serrano Margarita – You know that this is my favorite, right?  A bit of heat and a bit of tart.  Perfection with Tajin on the rim!  I made up a batch of these Saturday night when we grilled out and enjoyed the great weather we are having in Dallas.
