Рецепт Thinking of Drinking: Grand Solmar Cucumber Mint Margarita

by Lauren DeSantis

My baby just turned one and I made these margaritas to pair with lamb and pork tacos.  So good! I first learned how to make these after a wonderful filming trip in Cabo, Mexico.  During our time there, we stayed at the beautiful Grand Solmar Resort on the Cabo San Lucas side of the peninsula.  When we arrived, we were greeted by a rain storm.  Although we were a little disappointed, we sipped on a couple of these cocktails and had a blast.  I love the refreshing flavors of cucumber and mint.  Arriba, abajo, al centro, pa' dentro!
