Even though it’s Monday, we say you kickback, make yourself a Margarita and take the afternoon off in celebration! Want to learn more about why Cinco de Mayo is an important day in US history? Click here. Or want to learn more about tequila, click here!
Here’s our recipe for the classic beverage!
Classic Margarita
2 parts tequila (the better the quality, the better the margarita)
1 part fresh lime juice
1 part triple sec (or I prefer Cointreau)
salt for rimming the glasses
Combine tequila, triple sec (or Cointreau), and lime juice in cocktail shaker filled with ice. Moisten rim of glass with lime juice or water. Holding glass upside down, dip rim into salt. Shake and strain drink into glass and serve.
Enjoy!

What a great shot of the lime! And snaps for actually trying to inform others of the purpose of Cinco de Mayo (besides having another excuse to drink).

I love margaritas (and lime!) I might go out for one tonight in place of being unable to last night

I celebrated early… over the weekend. I’ll have to celebrate late now with your margarita version!
