TGIF!! It’s cocktail time!!! God, I can’t wait till I’m not pregnant and I can actually enjoy one of these damn things… Especially this week! Lord knows I love me a margarita!!
This recipe includes a fun ingredient I don’t normally play with, but I thought, why not!? Turmeric!! It is such a fun color and adds a smokey taste to the margaritas. Be careful when using it though, it can stain easily – learned from experience, ha!
