It’s almost summer, and that means cold drinks on hot days are on the horizon. If you’re searching for some inspiration for your cocktail Pinterest board (guilty!), we’re happy to help. One quintessential summer drink is the classic margarita — it’s refreshing, it’s not overly complicated, and it can be as strong or light as your day at work earlier will require. Yet, the nice thing about a margarita is how much room the drink leaves for customization with your own ideas.
Now is the time to perfect your margarita-making skills. If you’re searching for some margarita inspiration, we’ve gathered up five creative ideas for adding a fun twist to an already fun drink.
For this twist on the classic margarita, you’ll get a bright new color and a punchy citrus taste. Not only is it the kind of drink that already impresses people by just being served, but the pomegranate juice also adds a unique and tasty flavor.
