Italian Margaritas

Italian Margaritas are a refreshing and delicious twist on the classic cocktail. Easy to make by the glass or pitcher with tequila, amaretto, citrus juice and a splash of simple syrup. 

Margaritas are my go- to cocktail and I love just about any version like Pineapple Margaritas, Strawberry Margaritas and Blackberry Margaritas. Of course you can't go wrong with a Classic Margarita and if you need something really easy, try these Pink Señorita cocktails with just 3 ingredients.

I've always been in charge of the party drinks and a big pitcher of margaritas is always a hit. These Italian Margarita, made famous by Olive Garden, are perfect for any celebration or get together with friends.
