To continue my recipes for cinco de mayo I of course had to make some margaritas! I have been making margaritas since I was old enough to use the blender. My parents for some reason thought it was a good idea for a twelve-year-old to make their margaritas. I of course never drank them and it was the only drink they would have me make. Whatever their reasoning was, I became a margarita maker extraordinaire.

Back then I only made the traditional margarita. A traditional margarita is a classic for a reason and I have always been a fan of not messing too much with classics.

I have especially seen some strange margarita recipes with everything from turmeric to chili powder in them. I personally think these stray a little far from the flavors of the classic margarita. Even some margaritas with fruit in them I think get a little too sweet for my taste.

I was pondering the different margaritas and how I would like to mix it up without straying too far from the classic when rhubarb popped into my mind. I am a HUGE fan of rhubarb. It’s nice and tart but can easily be sweetened, it’s also in season right now. So I decided to give it a go!

The result is amazing! I have to say I was pleasantly surprised how good these turned out. I loved how the tartness of a margarita wasn’t lost and yet you get just the right amount of rhubarb flavor. These margaritas will definitely be a hit and I will be making them all summer long!
