Celebrate Cinco de Mayo with a Blue Agave Margarita
We are slowly leaving April behind us and May will be here before you know it! With May comes Cinco de Mayo and I am a HUGE fan of Mexican foods and absolutely LOVE a good margarita!
What qualifies as a good margarita in my opinion? When I was younger I used to love frozen margaritas that were slightly sweeter and without much of a kick to them but I have gradually learned to love them on the rocks with a bold, tart flavor. For a true lime flavor, never use that stuff you buy in the bottle. Squeeze them fresh!
What is Blue Agave Syrup?
Agave nectar (often called Agave syrup) is a very popular sweetener in the natural health community. This natural sweetener is used as a healthy alternative to sugar because it has a low glycemic index. Regular sugar is about 50% fructose, while Agave is about 70-90% fructose. Since it is more commonly used in Mexico as a sweetener, it is the perfect addition to this classic margarita recipe.
