Cherry Margarita

Now clearly you know your girl loves a cocktail, and I spend a lot of time experimenting with fun new drinks. So when I tell you this is hands down the best cocktail I have ever made, it’s no joke. I had had the concept for this in my head, living in the PNW cherries are something we have access to all summer. We even happen to have a cherry tree in our yard, so it seemed like it was about time to add it to a cocktail.
