Sunday Fun-day!

In preparation for our pool party today, I was going through my drink recipes and I came across this classic margarita recipe from Real Simple that I thought would perfectly compliment the carne asada that we're having! The recipe is so simple and easy to make - try it for yourself and let me know what you think! I like to add some muddled strawberries and a pinch of sugar for a "fruitier" cocktail.

Classic Margaritas:

1. In a medium pitcher, combine the tequila, lime juice, Cointreau and 1/2 cup water.
