Being the good California girl that I am there are a two things that I learned to do living here. One is learning how to love a good Margarita and the other is finding a reason to celebrate Cinco de Mayo – enter reason 1! One of the things that many people do not realize is that not all Margaritas are made with tequila. Some are wine based and are just as full of awesome flavor, but without the punch of a hard liquor.
Brought to us today by the fine folks at VOGA Italia wines comes a delicious Margarita recipe that you can make at home! Check it out!

This looks delicious, I’d love to try it without the alcohol. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
I love this cocktail recipe. Since It is made with citrus juices, Cointreau and wine it is not too strong and I would enjoy it more than Sangria
I was talking about having a Mexican menu for May 5th, so this sounds pretty nice! thanks!
This sounds good a nice summer drink
What a great recipe. Pinot Grigiot is my favorite wine for summertime so I think I would especially enjoy this drink.
This sounds delicious! I love that it is made with wine so I might be able to drink more than one on a hot summer evening!
I love this recipe and really like making Margaritas during Cinco de Mayo week. I will have to try out your recipe.
I don’t like tequila so I’m glad to have this recipe.
I don’t drink alcohol but I celebrate with the holiday food specials they always have this time of year. It pays to love produce, especially in California! Your drink looks refreshing.
This recipe sounds so good and great for a nice Cinco de Mayo party thanks for sharing this one.
This is a nice soft twist. Thanks
