On Friday, many people all around the world will be celebrating an important day in the history of Mexico, Cinco de Mayo. This holiday commemorates the day in May, 1862 when Mexican soldiers defeated a French army with an unlikely victory. This holiday is celebrated with family gatherings, celebrations, and of course, food.
How will you be celebrating this holiday? At my home, we will be enjoying a feast of our favorite Mexican dishes, along with these amazing margaritas.
Fresh and crisp, this margarita is both sweet and sour. You can make it “on the rocks” or toss it in the blender for a frozen treat.
A few years ago, a friend shared this recipe with me and it quickly became a favorite. I recently found out that it originally came from another mutual friend, who happily shared. Now I am going to share it with you!
You can mix up a batch in just a few minutes. In a large pitcher, mix a bottle of light beer (I like to use Corona Light) with ice. Add 8 ounces (1 cup) of tequila, 12 ounces (1 1/2 cups) of Sprite, one can of frozen Limeade concentrate, and the juice of a lime or two. Stir gently.
Pour into Margarita glasses. I love these glasses . They’re simple, classic, and will never go out of style. They are the perfect addition to my springtime porch.
Many people like to salt the glass rims, but I like to keep them plain.
Enjoy with friends and family…a wonderfully refreshing spring or summertime drink!
I hope you give this classic cocktail recipe a try!

Seems easy to make. How about if it’s mango margarita?
This recipe is very easy to make. 🙂
I’ve never made a mango margarita, but this is what I would try…instead of 12 ounces of Sprite, you could try 6 ounces mango juice and 6 ounces seltzer. I’d love to hear if you try it!
I’ll keep you posted when I try it. Thank you!
Looks like an easy drink recipe to make! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! Yes…it is easy and delicious! Have a great week!
Yum, this sounds amazing I must try some even though I am mostly a mojito girl !!
Thank you so much, Amber. I might have to give a mojito a try! Hope you’re having a great week!
