A BLONDE VINTAGE

It’s almost Cinco de Mayo and in celebration (I love any reason to drink a yummy cocktail!), I wanted to share with you my scratch margarita recipe that you can make at home! This Cinco de Mayo Margarita is so simple, so versatile and so so delicious! I promise, once you make one of these, you’ll never go back to using a mix again! This recipe is how margaritas should be made – from fresh juice and ingredients, with no preservatives. Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Scratch Margarita Recipe

• 2 fl oz (1 shot and a half) Casamigos Tequila
• .75 fl oz (1/2 shot) Grand Marnier
• 2 fl ounce fresh lime juice (about two limes)
• .75 fl oz (1/2 shot) simple syrup
• Cocktail Salt

Shake the tequila, Cointreau, lime juice, agave nectar and a wedge of squeezed lime in a cocktail shaker (I love this set with everything you’ll need!) with ice. Shake vigorously eight times, back and forth. Pour over a glass with a salted rim filled with ice and garnish with a lime wedge. You might also choose to serve this in a martini glass, up without ice.

Change it up! Add fresh strawberries, raspberries, mango or blueberries to your shaker for a fun fruit addition to your margarita. YUM!

We can still celebrate May with another amazing cocktail, the Mint Julep!

Cheers!
