    Melon-Basil Margarita


    Happy Thirsty Thursday everyone! It's almost the weekend, you are practically there. Why not celebrate? In honor of Cinco de Mayo, we are celebrating with tequila...I mean, it has nothing to do with really liking it or anything...ok, maybe that has a lot to do with it. Today also gives us a great opportunity for some laughs. If you need a laugh today, here's my favorite joke of all time animated by Adam Patch:

    Three years later, I'm still laughing. Any way, let's taco 'bout this cocktail you need in your life. This margarita will bring the traditional flavors with the tart lime, sweet agave, and silver tequila but keeps it very refreshing with muddled honeydew melon and fresh basil. When the weather is hot and humid and you need to unwind, you'll be so happy to have this recipe in your arsenal. In the meantime, we can just pretend it hasn't been raining for almost a week.
