Happy almost Friday, my peeps! Every so often, I feel the need to share a recipe that I just love, with you! Today, I am sharing the best margarita recipe ever. Yep, I said, best ever! At least in my book it is the best! So, a few weeks ago, we hosted a birthday party for Mr. Fancy. I asked my Instagram followers for their favorite margarita recipe and I got some really great options! We have never been able to perfect a margarita at home, though we have tried many times. We do make a great MOJITO though. You can see that recipe HERE. Since we were making a bunch of margaritas in advance, I wanted delicious, fast, simple and skinny (the sweet and sour in a regular marg is rough on me). My friend Caitlin, text me about this mix called Paula’s Texas Orange and it looked like exactly what we needed. We bought a few bottles of it and got to work taste testing. We followed the recipe right off the back of the bottle and It worked perfectly and everyone raved about them. They are SO good!! With Cinco de Mayo coming up, I thought this would be the perfect recipe to share with you all! It would be the perfect addition to your Cinco de Mayo party menu, or any party menu, for that matter! This is a good one, you guys!!

A margarita is my favorite drink! I’ll have to try that mix – do you think it’s a Texas thing or can we get it in SC? I will amazon it if I have to :). I have also made them with equal parts Skinnygirl mix and regular marg mix – less calories but tastes great! I can’t leave off the salt though! Love seeing your kitchen again – can’t wait for the detail post!
This looks delicious – will be making these this weekend!
Xo, Elizabeth

Will you share the nutrition label of the Texas Orange mix? It looks so great! Thanks.
I am going to be on the look out for that margarita mix – sounds so good! And I love that you can make ahead.
Your kitchen is gorgeous! I had to comment on the ice maker. We had one that died and just kills me every time I look at it. It’s not at the top of our list to fix, as it isn’t crucial to have one, but gosh it makes drinks better for some reason.Missing it ;(
