Thank goodness the cleaning people are coming today! I left my husband alone for ONE night, and I come home to an unbelievably sticky kitchen floor. He denies any and all knowledge of said stickiness. I’m sure there’s an embarrassing story in there but I didn’t push \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

So in honor of Cinco de Mayo, I wanted to make margaritas last night. I’ve been a little obsessed with fresh ginger, so that was going in there. I had some Trader Joe’s Dixie Peach juice blend in the fridge needing to be used. And I always love an excuse to use my cocktail shaker!<\/p>\n

I made these two ways — one with and one without peach. I liked both — and was surprised at how well the ginger and tequila paired. The CGP definitely preferred the peach version. I skipped rimming the glass with salt or sugar — only because the CGP is not a fan of either. For the peach version — I bet dipping your moistened glass rim in some sugar would be tasty and festive.<\/p>\n
