11 Margarita Recipes That Will Spice Up Your Cinco de Mayo
Growing up, I thought of margaritas as the symbol of adulthood. "Oh, how sophisticated it would be to be able to order a frozen cocktail with my tacos," I would think. Years later, as margaritas have become much more attainable, drinking whiskey and living in your one-bedroom apartment have replaced these tequila-based drinks as the official markers of having your shit together. But, until I like whiskey and/or live by myself, I will sip on the Internet's 11 best margarita recipes, which I have gathered for you here. Happy Cinco de Mayo to all!
