We LOVE this recipe. Why you ask? Are we cherry super fans? Not necessarily. The reason this is recipe is a favorite of ours, is the simplicity. This is the kind of recipe we had in mind when we set out to create a natural, small-batch, delicious margarita mixer. Don’t get us wrong – mixed with a quality tequila, our Classic Margarita mixer makes a damn good marg on it’s own. But we also want to be able to experiment. Add ingredients, use our mixers as a base, and create a unique cocktail that leaves our friends dying to get a hold of the recipe.
This Cherry Margarita is just that. Easily made in under 5 minutes, even if you whip up a few at a time. So go ahead and try this one out, then make sure to experiment on the next one. (And be sure to share with us, using #CraftYourCocktail on social!).
