Mama’s Classic Margaritas

Mama’s Classic Margaritas is about the best margarita recipe there is on the planet.  And it is our pleasure to share it with you!

This origins of the recipe come from a dear friend of ours, Vivian, who is Australian, who was performing in the show Cats with me (Kris) in Hamburg, Germany back in the 90s.

Sadly, Viv lost a courageous battle with breast cancer in the mid 2000’s, but we think of her often and every time we whip up a batch of the Mama’s Margaritas, we toast the heavens above us and can feel her smiling down on us.

Now, don’t worry. We’ve tested and tweaked many, many margarita recipes over the years, and we always go back to this recipe. It’s the perfect mix of sweet, sour, tang and tequila. Nothing overpowers, it’s just so tasty.
