I used to try and make unnecessarily complicated margaritas at home, and they were just never that great -anyone else? Like most things I’ve learned – the simple recipes are the best as long as you use good ingredients!
So, I thought now would be a good time to share the easiest margarita recipe there is – just in time for Cinco de Mayo next week! All you need are 3 ingredients and a cocktail shaker. You can absolutely make this without a shaker, but it does dilute it a bit while shaking and chills it quite nicely. Y’all let me know what you think!
