Cinco de Mayo is this Thursday, so there’s no better time to whip up a few of those cool tequila classics, margaritas! This is one of those recipes you’ll want to memorize because it will keep you going through summer and beyond.

As always, our recipes are made with ingredients that sustain businesses that support good jobs. Enjoy!

For one drink:

– 1 1/2 oz. Tequila (Azteca, Captain Gold, Don Eduardo, El Jimador, El Toro, Herradura, Juarez, Montezuma)
– 1 1/2 oz. Montezuma Triple Sec
– 1 to 1 1/4 oz. of Lime Juice
– Salt (Morton, Diamond Crystal) for the rim of the glass

Shake all the ingredients with cracked ice in a cocktail shaker until the exterior frosts. Strain into a glass over rocks, or “up” into a cocktail glass. Garnish with lime wedge.
