I don’t know about you but some of my favorite days are when I have a margarita and a basket of chips and guac in front of me. A person can get pretty spoiled living in Texas as there are so many places to visit that make great margs! I have come to love making fresh margaritas at home! There are so many variations to try and I haven’t found one I don’t love. There is something about a spicy, fruity margarita that I really love and this one, checks all of those boxes! Mix yourself one to pair with your favorite chips and salsa!
