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.

In a cocktail shaker filled halfway with ice cubes, combine the tequila, lime juice, and agave syrup. Shake until well-chilled (about 15 to 20 seconds). Strain the cocktail mixture into the prepared glass. Garnish with the second lime wedge and some mint if desired and serve immediately.
