{Confession: I craved margaritas my ENTIRE first pregnancy. Never had one sip the whole time, but the day I gave birth to my son at home (home birth), my mom had a fresh batch waiting for me! And guess what - a margarita never tasted so good after a LONG hard day and 9 months! - not sure I never thanked you for that, mom}

So cheers to us mamas that work so hard every single day!

Guilt Free Fresh Margaritas Recipe Variations & Substitutions

• Spicy - that's right, throw some chopped jalapeno in this drink and muddle like crazy.
• Orange-rita - swap the lime for fresh tangerine juice.
• Fancy Salted Rim - go crazy with the salted rim. Try smoked sea salt or add some spicy red pepper for heat.
• Grapefruit - swap the lime for grapefruit juice. Or use both. I love grapefruit in my margaritas.
