During the last couple months of my mom's life I was solely focused on her so I needed to put cocktail making on the back burner for a while.

I have a LOT of margarita recipes for you all today!  Woot Woot!!  I can't wait to share them all!

This collection of recipes will make it so much easier to find them all instead of having to do a search (I know I'm lazy and sometimes all about the quick answer!).

So sit back, relax and slowly scroll through all of these until you find the one/s that you want to try.  I suggest trying a couple.....or all of them........just not all of them today.  We have to pace ourselves, right?

Classic Margarita

National Margarita Day ~~ February 22nd

Classic Margarita

5 shots out of 5

I'm baaack!  

That was sure a nice five days off.  

I think after a year STRAIGHT of making cocktails every night that I deserve a vacation.  

If you didn't know, tomorrow is National Margarita Day!  

Like we need an excuse to have a margarita, right?  Not an excuse, just a reminder how wonderful margarita's really are.


I gave today's cocktail 5 shots out of 5.  

I am EN-JOYING this cocktail right now.  

If you don't already know, I am not a big tequila person......at all.  

I searched and searched online and found a handful of classic margarita recipes and (after consulting with my husband) decided on this one that I found on Food & Wine.  

This cocktail is a perfect blend of alcohol and sweetness to where those who do not like super sweet cocktails will like it, as well as those (like me) who don't care too much for tequila!  

I have a list of (including today's margarita) 10 different cocktails for you to choose from below that you can make tomorrow for NMD.  

Depending on how brave you are, you are welcome to try more then one too!

Here is a photo of the end result:

Here is a photo of the ingredients:

Here is the recipe for a Classic Margarita:

• 1 1/2 oz silver tequila
• 3/4 oz cointraeu
• 3/4 oz lime juice
• 1/4 oz simple syrup

In a shaker, add ice and all of the ingredients above.  Shake and dump everything into your margarita glass.  Lift your glass up and salute to NMD!

Here are photos of my other 9 margaritas I've made, with links beneath each one that will bring you right to their page!
