Tequila is one of the most controversial liquors out there. For some, it is the go-to form of liquid strength that wields magical dancing powers. For others, the mere sight of the alcohol induces instant nausea and brief hazy memories of terrible nights past. Whether you claim to be tequila’s number one fan or worst enemy, Cinco de Mayo – the holy day of distilled blue agave – is upon us. For tequila lovers, it’s the best possible excuse to indulge without judgement, and for all the haters it’s time to take one for the team and surrender to that feared drink. For either side of the tequila controversy, margaritas offer a nice compromise between the power of tequila and the fresh taste of a nice summery drink. We found the best unique margarita recipes to make this Cinco de Mayo a memorable one (hopefully in a good way).
