Here are 15 ways to mix it, shake it, and blend it up for the fifth of May.
Blood Orange Margarita
Don’t blood oranges make every cocktail better? :) (via White on Rice Couple)

If you like pina margaritas, and getting caught in the rain… We are totally down for this twist on two yummy summery cocktails. (via Host the Toast)

Just reading the title of this makes us feel refreshed! We think this combo would also be pretty darn good in slushy form. (via Endless Simmer)

It’s like guacamole and a margarita had a baby! Love the idea of adding some spicy jalapeños to the mix. (via Cookin’ Canuck)

This citrusy take on the margarita might be our new favorite sipper for brunch. (via Just Putzing)

Want the blended style but without your drink getting watery? This recipe blends whole slices of fruit (without the rind, of course) rather than squeezing the juice. (via Better Recipes)

Strawberries and basil are two of our very favorite things here at Brit HQ, so the pair of them together in margarita form is definitely our jam. (via Food Babbles)

Mango, peach nectar, and fresh orange slices make this sunrise drink creamy, dreamy, and just desperate for a cocktail umbrella. (via Sing for Your Supper)
