3 Margarita Recipes Bartenders Don’t Want You to Have


 
If you’re like most Arizonans, you fall into at least one of three categories:

·         The One who Likes to Entertain

·         The One who Likes to be Entertained

·         The One who Becomes the Entertainment

(Hopefully, if you fall into the latter category, you’re there for all the right reasons!)

But the truth is, the temperatures are rising and spring is quickly making way for hotter temps and pulling valley residents outdoors for something fun. Nothing is better than outdoor entertaining with family and friends. And if Arizona is the ‘Valley of the Sun,’ then those who live there are definitely the ones who get together in the sunshine.

Summer time is perfect for parties, lakeside get-togethers, and Barbecues. Who needs a reason? We’ll make one! Arizona loves to celebrate every occasion.

Mix up a Southwestern Summer Margarita

Summer entertaining means a killer margarita must be in-hand. And if you’re the party planner, you have two options: Either you can serve a pre-made syrup or ‘Wow!’ the crowd with these recipes that your local bar tender rather you not know how to mix.

 Go ahead, serve the freshest chilled drink on the market. One that’s homemade for an extra measure of bragging rights.

We’ll provide the party ice and you provide the Tequila.
