Sip Smarter This Cinco de Mayo with a Fresh Start Margarita | San Antonio Moms MailChimp Code

If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that as a Mexican woman, tequila runs through my veins! It’s not just a drink it’s a whole culture, a celebration, and honestly a love language. So when Cinco de Mayo rolls around, you already know I’m not playing about my cocktails.

That’s exactly why I’m bringing 21 Seeds into the mix today. Not only is it an incredibly smooth, flavorful tequila, but it’s also women-owned and if you know me, you know I will always show up for women in business. The Cucumber Jalapeño flavor is everything: a little refreshing, a little spicy, and just the right amount of attitude. Honestly, it was made for a day like today.

So in honor of Cinco de Mayo, I put together this “Fresh Start” Margarita and y’all it did not disappoint. I added a splash of Poppi Lemon Lime to give it a little something extra, and paired with good food and great music, it is THE drink of the day. This one is easy, delicious, and feels like a whole celebration in a glass.

Whether you’re hosting a backyard party, a girls hangout, or just treating yourself today — this margarita is your move. Scroll down for the full recipe and tag me when you make it!
