tacos are great and all, but let's be real.

cinco de mayo is all about the margaritas.

and margs are a great blank canvas for all kinds of awesomeness. 

you can pretty much throw in any of your favorite sweet, sour or spicy ingredients and make it work. 

lucky for me, someone passed along some tasty pink lemons to me the other day. if you don't happen to find yourself with any pink lemons (i didn't even know they existed till they were given to me) you can swap out that juice for your favorite or whatever you have on hand. don't be afraid to get creative.
