Welcome to my very first recipe post! In honor of National Margarita Day (and any day!), I decided to put together a short but easy list of margarita recipes that you can share with friends and family! As Wynee’s World progresses, I want to incorporate more of my ideas and life (I love making a good cocktail on the weekend) which just so happen to be cocktail recipes so be on the look-out for more!
The Original Margarita
The love of my life. The OG Margarita. If i’m out and about at a restaurant or bar, there’s a 8/10 chance I’ll order a margarita. I love salt on my rims but my perfernce is always sugar, if you haven’t tried sugar on your rim yet you should! With this recipe, I used Sweetened Lime Juice so that the drink wouldn’t be too sour as I find a lot of margaritas to be.

Pineapple Jalapeño Margarita
Over the past years, I have fallen in love with spicy margaritas. So for this recipe I wanted to incorporate spice but add my own twist and make a pineapple jalapeño marg. If you dont like drinks to be too spicy, instead of a whole slice I would recommend half of a slice for this recipe.

Mango Margarita
I love mango drinks! Although I haven’t had many mango cocktails I knew I wanted to incorporate mango into one of my margarita recipes. Mango is super refreshing and especially that Spring and Summer are around the corner, I thought that this one would be a great option. I used a lime instead of the sweetened lime juice in this recipe because mango flavor is already sweet. So to tone down the sweetness, I used a whole lime instead!
