We get it: Some days you just want to skip all the in-depth cocktail recipes in favor of sticking to the basics. (Or you may not have all the trimmings to make a jazzed-up cocktail, especially while we continue to social distance and stay at home.) Tequila Cazadores gets it too: crisp, clean, and classic, there’s nothing better than the sweet, fresh flavor of a traditional Tequila Cazadores Margarita for Cinco de Mayo.

The Classic Margarita

Ingredients:

1 ½ parts Tequila Cazadores Blanco or Reposado

1 part fresh lime juice or lemon juice

Garnish with slice of lime

Salt optional

Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice, shake and serve on the rocks. Garnish with salt and lime wheel.
