A margarita is probably my favorite cocktail. But I’m picky. I really prefer them “on the rocks,” but I do like my husband’s frozen version. In honor of Cinco de Mayo tomorrow and summer just around the corner, I wanted to share my favorite Margarita recipes.

Serrano Margarita – You know that this is my favorite, right? A bit of heat and a bit of tart. Perfection with Tajin on the rim! I made up a batch of these Saturday night when we grilled out and enjoyed the great weather we are having in Dallas.
