Quick and Easy Margarita Cocktails
Is it even Cinco de Mayo without margaritas? Mix up a batch of this crowd-pleasing summertime classic in minutes!
It’s actually, finally, maybe, beginning to feel like summer could be is on its way here – eventually.
We’re in that awkward in-between time where people truly don’t know how to dress.

And yet another person at the same place was in shorts and a tank top, which was just ridiculous anyway but that’s how confused people are right now.
The mindset seems to be for some that if we all just dress “as-if” it’s summertime, then it will magically be so.
So.
In the spirit of magical thinking, I made margaritas:
