Wednesday #LemonWeek Recipes


Today I am sharing a very lemony margarita with you!  It is a little bit on the sweeter side, but still tangy with a crisp sour flavor.  Just like a good lemon!  In fact, use the freshest lemons you have, and instead of plain sugar, use a simple syrup to sweeten the drink.  It makes all the difference!
