We got married on Cinco De Mayo last year in Siesta Key, Florida. These will be perfect for our anniversary celebrations together!

I was thinking of inviting my girlfriends over tomorrow night for a little Cinco de Mayo celebration but I’ve never made margaritas before. I can’t wait to try a couple of these! Thanks for sharing.

You can also add a dash of orange juice and/or Cointreau to a standard margaritas to give it a little extra flavor. Even a splash of grenadine provides some extra color – but use just a little.

Hi Dawn –
Just fixed the link for the Honeydew Rita – looks like there was some extra spaces in the html before. It should work now!

Cheers,
Jenn
