The warmer days of spring inspire celebration, and there’s no better way to say adios to the cold days of winter than with these three mouth-watering margaritas.
Why not turn Cinco de Mayo into an extended special occasion and take part in Margarita May with your tribe this year?
May Day Lavender Margarita 
Toast to the popular saying, “April showers bring May flowers”, with this lavender margarita. The floral aroma of this colorful margarita welcomes the brightness that spring brings.
This margarita features Aldez Tequila Blanco, which like the fresh beginning of spring, is filled with possibilities, promise and potential. Aldez Tequila Blanco is bottled directly after its second distillation, embodying the fresh possibilities that lie before us all.
Don’t be afraid to experiment though! If you have a penchant for the classics than we would equally recommend substituting Aldez Tequila Añejo with this one, as it also pairs well with the zesty cointreau and subtle sweetness of the lavender.
Ingredients:
- 2 oz Aldez Tequila Blanco
- ½ oz cointreau
- 1 oz lavender simple syrup
- 1 oz fresh-squeezed lime juice
Directions:
Pour all of the ingredients into an ice-filled shaker. Shake and then strain into chilled margarita glasses. Garnish with a lime wedge. For a stunning result, you can rim the glasses with a mixture of dried lavender and sugar.
Cinco de Mayo Fresh Pineapple Margarita
Celebrate Cinco de Mayo this year by commemorating Mexican culture and heritage with good food, drink, and company. Kick off the celebrations by mixing up a margarita with Aldez Añejo, which is crafted to encapsulate the heart and soul of authentic Mexican traditions.
Our Aldez Anejo is born from twice-distilled blue agave. grown in sun-kissed fields in the lowlands of Jalisco, Mexico. After spending a few years growing in the rich, Mexican soil, the blue agaves are harvested by hand using traditional tools, slow-cooked in brick overs for about 3 days, and extracted before completing the distillation process.
Aldez Añejo offers up amazing flavors of caramel, vanilla and molasses, with a balanced, oaky finish. Mix up Aldez Añejo into this fresh pineapple margarita, and relish in the sweet and salty combination of perfection. This drink is perfectly paired with spicy Mexican foods. Celebrate the good things in life by enjoying some tacos and fresh pineapple margaritas with your friends.
