Donna’s Notes

Party tips: Serve chips, salsa and guacamole to round out your Mexican flavors. Frozen Margaritas are a great way to cool down in the summer heat, are a very fun addition to your adults only party and are so easy to make. Throw your ingredients in your blender and make a whole pitcher at a time.
