Nothing says summertime like an icy, cold margarita. While I truly love the traditional margarita infused with lots of lime and tequila, I wanted to switch things up a bit and give my drink some exotic flavors.
Fresh papaya juice and sweet pineapple juice are mixed with tequila and garnished with lime wedges and fresh mint. I prefer my margarita on the rocks, but you can certainly just add ice and blend the ingredients for a frozen version. This is one delicious drink for us adults to enjoy while summer is here.
