I love my Cinco de Mayo Margarita recipe!
Cinco de Mayo is quickly approaching just like everything else. Time seems to be moving faster and faster. Hold on – it’s like a roller coaster ride. You can either enjoy it or get sick! Hey, I haven’t been crazy about fast rides since my teenage years but I’m gonna enjoy the ride since I can’t slow it down anyway!
I love a good excuse to throw a party and Cinco de Mayo (which is May 5th) is all about celebrating Mexican food and culture. Let’s start with Margaritas, which I believe are some of the best cocktails in the world, as there are so many different versions!
Ali in the Valley’s Margarita Recipe is one of my best! I got this recipe from one of my mentors in the music business and have claimed it as my own (with a few changes of course). Since I’ve been on the grind this year and not drinking hard liquor, I haven’t really indulged much. But heck, I gotta celebrate Cinco de Mayo the right way with my amazing margaritas!
Let’s kick it off with Ali in the Valley’s Margarita!
