Strawberry Rhubarb Margaritas
A fancy cocktail that’s just a little off-the-beaten-path. Fresh rhubarb sugar syrup is so easy to make and adds just a little bit of extra to a strawberry margarita. Frozen strawberries are used in this drink as they make the whole concoction extra slushy. The garnish makes this drink memorable. All in all, a delicious, special and cooling drink for any occasion.
