Your guests will love this margarita recipe for Cinco de Mayo or any time of year

A quick run to the store, a group text to a few friends and you have yourself a fiesta for Cinco de Mayo. Mexican cuisine is so fun to cook and enjoy.

Who you invite to your Cinco de Mayo party is up to you. What to serve is easy: Chili Cilantro Marinated Beef to make tacos. The main event is your meat because you need to marinate it, and you can do it the day before if you like.

But to tide you and your guests over, here’s the best margarita recipe I’ve found. Forewarning: It’s very strong. But every great fiesta includes a good tequila beverage.

Combine tequila, Triple Sec, sweet lime juice and ice in a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously. Strain into ice-filled glasses and garnish with lime wedges.
