What to Serve With Margaritas
Margaritas are one of the best cocktail recipes to pair with spicy, salty Mexican food like Cod Ceviche, Shrimp Ceviche, and this tasty Vegetarian Taco Salad. It just complements the bold flavors of jalapeno and cilantro and juicy textures so well.
Especially when the margarita recipe is made with fresh frozen peaches, making it a "healthier" cocktail with a bit less guilt attached. And tequila is actually one of the purest alcohols for the body.
Margaritas are made with so many various fruits and juice mixtures. But I prefer my drink recipes to be made in the most natural form. Use fresh frozen fruit to sweeten cocktail drinks instead of fake hydrogenated corn syrup and sugar for the "healthiest" version.

- Too thick? Let it sit a minute or add a splash of lime juice and blend again.
