Margarita Recipes for Cinco de Mayo

Cinco de Mayo is coming up in a little less than a month! And while I don’t consume many mixed drinks, Cinco de Mayo is big in Texas and the perfect opportunity to enjoy an icy cold margarita.

When I was searching for some margarita recipes to try out, I couldn’t help but be in complete awe at all of the creative flavors of this drink people have come up with. Aside from the more common varieties like the original, strawberry, and mango, people have outdone themselves in redefining what a margarita should taste like!

This is an epic list of margs! Pinning immediately. Thank you so much for including my Basil Margarita in there. It actually won a contest sponsored by a restaurant, and they served it in their bar all summer! Fun memory...

Thanks for including my Honey Peach Vanilla Margarita! I remember the weekend I made that so vividly. We almost lost our dog George the week earlier to a massive chest infection and we were celebrating having him back with the peach syrup that I'd saved for a special occasion. I will definitely coming back to this post in the summer for some inspiration for cocktails on the patio. Thanks!
