Strawberry Margarita

Mmmmmm……are you thirsty yet?  My favorite alcohol is definitely tequila.  I love it in any form, whether straight up or mixed with something.

But my weakness is margaritas.   I’ll drink them on the rocks or blended…but definitely with salt!    This recipe is perfect for summer – so refreshing and sweet.  You can easily adjust it to your personal tastes, as there are lots of different opinions on how to make the perfect margarita. 

Enjoy – have one for me!  :)
