'Rita Remix: 3 Non-Traditional Margarita Recipes For Your Next Fiesta

The Margarita has been a part of North American drinking culture for around 75 years, and in that time there have been plenty of variations on the classic cocktail. From frozen to flavored to sober AF, there is no shortage of riffs out there. Even Paul McCartney has a recipe!
