Cherry season will be winding down soon, but before it does, I wanted to whip up some juicy margs with my sweet cherries that I had left in the fridge. This recipe was so easy to make with just a few ingredients. The flavor of the cherry syrup paired with the lime juice and tequila was on another level! This may be my favorite of all the fruit margs I’ve created. Serve a pitcher with some chips and salsa at your next happy hour or pair it with your brunch menu. It goes with everything! Enjoy!
