Scratch the frozen margarita mix!

The most wonderful margarita for Cinqo de Mayo is a beautiful, fresh Strawberry Margarita!

So much more natural and delicious than the frozen mixes. Temper the tartness with 1 tablespoon of honey.

This batch tastes so great with my Shrimp Tacos. Accented with gorgeous sprigs of cilantro from Petal Pushers Garden Center in Channahon, Illinois!

Strawberries are loaded with Vitamin C and are rich in antioxidants. They are 91 percent water.

Happy Cinqo de Mayo!
