May is the month that marks the official start of margarita season! We are going beyond the bottled mix today, but still keeping things super simple which is one of the things that makes a good margarita so wonderful.
**One tip before we move on….use fresh lime and shake, shake, shake until that shaker frosts over and your hand feels numb. It’s worth it…promise.** Check out our reel on Instagram!
