Cinco de Mayo calls for margaritas, and this year, I’m serving up strawberry-flavored ones that include my favorite ingredient – yes, you guessed it, rosé! Super easy. I whipped them up right on my Cinco de Mayo table. Find my delish recipe below, as well as a list of some of my favorite new bowls, place mats, and more that I will be using this Cinco de Mayo!
STRAWBERRY-ROSÉ MARGARITA
Inspired by this recipe on epicurious.com.
Makes 4 margaritas.
Ingredients
16 strawberries, hulled and sliced
4 teaspoons brown sugar
1 cup tequila blanco
Fresh lemon juice from 1 whole lemon
6 tablespoons of rosé (I use it more as a topper!)
Instructions
Muddle strawberries and brown sugar until lightly crushed. Add tequila, lemon juice, rosé, and ice. Cover and shake or mix hard for 30 seconds. Pour drink over ice (do not strain). Add more rosé to taste, as well as a few sliced strawberries!
And for what I am loving for Cinco de Mayo: fringe and ikat placemats (the ones in this post are Homegoods!), gold-rimmed glasses for margaritas (mine are these), aztec bowls (like these) for guac and salsa, pastel baskets for displaying lemons and lines (here), and an assortment of white ceramic vases to display wild flowers. Cheers!
