As National Margarita day is upon us, here are various variations on the Miss Daisy cocktail. Some are a simple addition of a fruit or herb, while others (the chocolate) have definitely put a twist on the traditional cocktail. Hopefully drinking this refreshing summer drink will bring the sunshine in faster. At the very least, all that tequila is sure to keep you warm.
