According to Gourmet magazine, the margarita is the most popular cocktail in the U.S.

And it is no wonder. This versatile beverage can be served straight up, on the rocks, or that frothy, frozen, slushy concoction that tastes especially delightful around 6 p.m. on a sunny Friday after a long week at work.

For those of you partaking in the upcoming Cinco de Mayo festivities why not include one of these delicious versions? (courtesy of Food Network)
