So … I had this plan. This plan entailed me sharing with you what might just be my favorite margarita recipe EVER.
Kind of a big deal, right?
Well, I’ve got something bigger on the brain.
What could be bigger than sharing one of my all-time favorite margarita recipes, you ask?
Jackpot, babies! Cinco de Mayo. It’s so happening. Like, tomorrow.
These two things are related in that the recipe I wanted to share with you was for … wait for it … prickly pear margaritas.
If you’ve ever had one, then you’re probably wondering why on earth I would torture you with such a thought. Well, if I had shared the recipe, that would have been the evil thing to do – reason being that you need a special prickly pear syrup to make one of those bad boys happen. I say, go ahead and order a bottle now
Lucky for you us, there’s no shortage of fabulous {non-prickly pear} margarita recipes to choose from in the meantime.
I’d say this worked out better for all parties involved – because instead of sharing just one, I’m sharing 12! In the list below, you can find the margaritas I’ve been eyeing, all deemed perfect for your Cinco celebrations. They range from perfect for spring, going right on into the summer – so you can pick one to make now, and try a few others as everyone’s favorite season {read: the best time of year for margaritas, indeed} gets on with its bad self.
{in no particular order}
juicy peach margaritas ::: how sweet eats
blackberry-mint margarita ::: food & wine
meyer lemon {rosemary} margarita ::: 20something cupcakes
margarita popsicles ::: confections of a foodie bride
coconut margarita ::: eat make read
jalapeño-infused grapefruit margarita ::: 20something cupcakes
watermelon margarita ::: we are not martha
classic margarita {with bitters} ::: white on rice couple
cantaloupe margarita ::: cookie + kate
blueberry-basil margarita ::: saveur
mango margaritas with chili salt ::: 20something cupcakes
cherry margarita ::: sweet life
And – if you haven’t tried champagne margaritas yet, then you simply must. I’m thinking a Mexican-themed brunch complete with my huevos rancheros bake is in order.
“What are you eating/drinking/making for Cinco de Mayo this year? No cooking for me! We’ll be beaching it (with a pitcher of margaritas in tow, of course) and then heading to a super-fun taco + tequila bar down the street. Love this holiday! Cheers … to many margaritas and way too much guac!” xxSAS
I love drinking something like this once a week with the whole family.. Actually, we really love this especially the girls..
Awesome round up…..love it!!! Wishing I could swap my coffee for a margarita right now!

You are quite welcome! Between the two of us, looks like we have cocktails for Cinco and the Derby covered. Your julep looks incredible!
These margaritas are going to be keeping me happy for a LONG time. Thank god the warm weather came early this year. We have a lot of drinking to do!
