For the love of limes, salt, and a strong pour.

LOTS OF MARGARITAS AND TEQUILA RECIPES ARE ON MY WEBSITE, CLICK ME TO CHECK THEM OUT

First, let’s turn on some tunes

Cinco de Mayo is here, and if there’s one thing we’re doing—it's celebrating with margaritas. But not just any margaritas. I’m talking riffs, twists, frozen blends, and spicy sips that’ll have you reaching for your shaker all week long.

🇲🇽 What is Cinco de Mayo, really?
Contrary to popular belief, it's not Mexico’s Independence Day. Cinco de Mayo marks the Battle of Puebla, a surprising Mexican victory over French forces in 1862. While it’s a relatively minor holiday in Mexico, it’s become a much bigger celebration in the U.S.—a day to honor Mexican culture, pride, and heritage.
