What an interesting selection. I can't wait to check them all out. Not all in one night though or even in one weekend. I think this is going to be a month long experiment.
If you are a regular reader of my blog, you know that my husband is always in charge of the cocktails. This Margarita was no different. I simply asked him to make me a Margarita that would be perfect for Valentine's Day and set him loose.
I never worry about being disappointed when Frank is concocting a cocktail. He has made so many amazing Valentine Day drinks for me that I just take his expertise for granted. And who can blame me when I get served up things like Chocolate Coconut Dreams, Cinnamon Spice Valentinis, and Strawberry Basil Mojitos.
This may be my favorite of Frank's Margaritas thus far. That is pretty high praise considering prior masterpieces like Hibiscus Iced Tea Margarita, Mango Peach Margarita, and Frank's Fantastic Margarita.
Your Valentine is sure to fall in love with this Margarita and with you for taking the time to make it for her. Cheers.......
