So it’s been decided: you and your friends should skip a booze-filled evening on the town. Instead, a Cinco de Mayo bash will be held at su casa, and you’re the bartender.
Nervous? Don’t be. Mix to impress with signature recipes featuring George Clooney’s very own Casamigos tequila. (If it’s good enough for Amal, it’s good enough for us.) Try these boozey, silver-fox approved margaritas.
CASAMIGOS WATERMELON MINT MARGARITA
11/2 Parts Casamigos Reposado Tequila
3/4 Parts Fresh Lime Juice
4 Parts Muddled Watermelon
1/2 Part Simple Syrup
6-7 Mint Leaves
Muddle mint and watermelon, add remaining ingredients, shake, and fine strain over fresh ice. Garnish with mint sprig and lime.
CASAMIGOS STRAWBERRY BASIL MARGARITA
1 1/2 Parts Casamigos Reposado Tequila
