We are close to Cinco de Mayo celebrations and warm, breezy Summer days. And in my opinion nothing beats a cold cocktail to beat that heat.

Classic margaritas date back to 1937 when a cocktail book published in the UK first shared a drink consisting of tequila, triple sec and lime juice. Today it has become of the the world's most popular cocktails.
I've hand picked 14 of my favorite variations, all of them EASY, nothing you can't throw together in just a few minutes. I've picked such a variety you'll wonder if there is a margarita for every fruit available!
So let's get started - browse away - find a margarita that looks fun to you!

Find a distillery near you and grab a bottle of moonshine (this one flavored lemon-lime), it gives this margarita such a unique taste!
Just like traditional sangria this recipes uses red wine, fresh limes and oranges, plus triple sec to give it that margarita spark.
You'll need a bottle of lavender syrup for this one, but it will be worth the trouble and you'll make dozens of batches before it's gone.

The combination of fresh juicy watermelon and spicy slices of fresh jalapenos, with the addition of lime really does make the best drink.
