Don’t ^^these^^ look necessary? Because they are.

What’s not to love about a margarita? Unless of course you hate tequila. But I can’t even imagine that concept.

Luckily, our boat is chock full of tequila lovers. Jereme and I must be a match made in heaven because we both definitely prefer tequila over any other liquor. …Which might possibly be why we picked up six large bottles of tequila before we left Naples. Kinda unneccesary, I’m sure. ;))

So I was thinking…this weekend is a nice long holiday weekend…so what better time to share our super simple and not-so-secret margarita (on the rocks) recipe. It’s quick. It’s easy. And most importantly, it’s delicious!!!

There’s also a ginger beer margarita recipe I’ve been dying to try…so you might hear from us again on the margarita front.

Hope everyone enjoys a fun-filled holiday weekend!  You know, Monday is not only Memorial Day, it’s also my birthday!!! An even better excuse for a tasty margarita…or three, if you ask me. :))) Might as well celebrate tonight, tomorrow, and again on Monday.

Cheers!
