Enjoy Warmer Climates with Fruity Strawberry Margaritas

Theres absolutely nothing like hanging out with your best friends over a couple of margaritas, a bag of chips and some homemade guacamole. It heals the soul, Ill tell you. Im not sure what guys really think girls do when they get together for a girls night, but my girls nights usually involve homemade margaritas, chips, celebrity gossip magazines and a pan of brownies. Its wonderful. I do love a good margarita and these are so sweet and fruity that youll forget theyre alcoholic. That could be a good or very bad thing. Ill let you be the judge. These fun, pink margaritas are perfect for any Spring party, impromptu cocktail hour or girls night. You can make the strawberry syrup ahead of time and use any extra to flavor sparkling water for a sweet non-alcoholic treat. Strawberry or not, I love my margaritas rimmed with lots of salt! I also like them on the rocks. If you prefer yours to be blended, no problem! Just throw all the ingredients into your blender (strawberry syrup, tequila, triple sec and lime juice) with a ton of ice and youll be on your way. Cheers!
