Happy Cinco De Mayo! This Fresh Strawberry Margarita is my favorite drink this time of year. It uses fresh strawberries, limes and of course…tequila! Enjoy this when its nice outside or if you’re looking to shake things up! You can save the syrup for later use and even use the strawberries from the syrup over ice cream or in a milkshake! Enjoy!
