Picture this... 108ºF in the shade, sunset overlooking the pool, and a Classic Margarita shaken tableside, then poured over ice. Does it get much better than that? Made with just a few quality ingredients, it's my favorite Margarita memory and took place at the Border Grill in Las Vegas.
I'm a Classic Margarita Girl through and through, and I've been known to send a drink back after I've been told "Oh... you're going to love it!". I tend to grill my servers before ordering explaining that I'm extraordinarily picky about my 'ritas - I don't like sweet and actually tasting the tequila is a must. It continually amazes me how hard it is to find one that lives up to its hype.
However on occasion, I do like to shake things up and work in a flavored Margarita. And here I have a fabulous roundup of 10 "Not-So-Classic" Margaritas from some of the most amazing bloggers on the web. You just may want to whip one up for Cinco de Mayo, a pool party, or maybe just because it's Saturday.
Which one is your favorite? (Click the Margarita Titles to go to the recipes and let these bloggers know what you think!).
