Cinco de Mayo is right around the corner and that means Iโve been doing a lot of Mexican cooking. Not that I donโt do a lot of Mexican cooking already because I do at least once a week, but Iโve been whipping up a few new recipes as well.
Iโve also been experimenting with cocktails and for Cinco de Mayo that means margaritas. My absolute favorite margarita is the original, on the rocks, with salt on the rim. Itโs totally my thing. Iโm not one for the fruity frozen margaritas. I think they are too sweet and donโt have the yummy margarita flavor.
However, for Cinco de Mayo Iโm making an exception. Iโm still not making frozen margaritas but I am making fruity ones on the rocks. Instead of using mixes like many restaurants do, Iโm using fresh fruits and Iโm still adding in the traditional lime juice for some tartness as well as tequila and triple sec for that margarita flavor.
The first one I tried was strawberry as itโs a classic margarita flavor and I love the strawberry lime combination. I simply used strawberries, fresh lime juice, triple sec, tequila, and just a little bit of sugar. I blended it together in a blender then poured it in a glass rimmed with sugar over ice. The verdict? Awesome!
It was sweet and tart which was the perfect margarita combo. It was flavored with both strawberry and lime. It was thicker than a classic margarita because of the blended strawberries but it was still tasty on the rocks. I wonโt ever be ordering a frozen strawberry margarita from a restaurant but Iโll be making these strawberry margaritas on the rocks for Cinco de Mayo!
