Sweet and Sour Margaritas

May 5, 2014 By Betsy Cohen

Sweet and Sour Margaritas are the perfect way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. A great way to quench your thirst and the recipe couldn't be easier.

Sweet and Sour Margaritas


Sweet and Sour Margaritas are the perfect way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo here in South Florida. Actually, they are great everywhere, even in Mexico where the holiday originated.

Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican Army’s win over the French in the Battle of Pueblo during the Franco-Mexican War. The war was not over, so the celebration was probably not as exciting as one would think.

 

Sweet and Sour Margaritas are the perfect way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. A great way to quench your thirst and the recipe couldn't be easier.

My celebration, however, is very exciting. The ‘sweet’ comes from the sugar around the rim of the glass. The sour is credited to the lime juice.

Sweet and Sour Margarita’s are designed to make life easy. You don’t have to own a shaker and I chose to use agave to sweeten the margarita because, let’s face it, most people don’t have simple syrup lying around. The tequila, orange liqueur, rose’s lime juice, fresh lime juice and agave are stirred in a measuring cup and poured over ice in the sugar rimmed glass.

My guess is that in on May 5, 1862, the soldiers did not celebrate with margaritas, but if they had one this delicious, I’m sure they would have downed more than one. Cheers!

About Betsy

Happylicious By Betsy December 2015 lo res I have loved desserts for as long as I can remember. Growing up I loved the smell of freshly baked challah in my maternal great-grandmother’s kitchen, the incredible butter cookies from my paternal grandmother and the perfect pies my mother used to bake when company came over.
