by Sarah on May 4, 2012

One of my favorite beverages is probably the margarita which can only be made better when given a mango touch of flair. While in Mexico, I treated myself to quite a few. Unlike my trip to Argentina which was filled with wine, beef and dulce de leche, my Mexican vacation was much more about the [...]
