Happy Cinco De Mayo!! I love this holiday because you can eat and drink your body weight in Mexican food. I don’t know what it is about Mexican food, but I can eat it every day. I know I crave it every day. Every time my husband asks me what I want to eat it usually is Mexican. He loves it almost as much as I do. You best believe we always have a container of fresh salsa in the fridge and chips in the pantry for a snack. Like I have stated before I am not a fan of premade margarita mixes at Mexican restaurant though. I usually get a skinny, so it has all the fresh ingredients and not all the sour mix. This Cinco I decided we weren’t going to get takeout (as a lot of the restaurants are still not opened due to COVID 19). I wanted to make a homemade Cinco de Mayo meal but with fresh margaritas. This one is by far one of my favorite drinks I have made and can't wait to drink them tonight with the hubby. Hope you enjoy!!

1.5 oz of tequila
1 oz of ginger ale

Step by Step
1. Take your lime and add lime zest to your margarita salt

*Stated in my last blog the "Feelin Good Refresher" I have teamed up with Sea Palms Resort in St Simons Island Georgia. They wanted me to come up with a list of summer cocktails. They are reopening in a couple of weeks and if you are there this summer you can try out this cocktail!!
