Strawberry Rose Petal Margaritas
Strawberry Rose Petal Margaritas!!! The combination of strawberries and roses is a favorite in the Tartelette household (also see our Strawberry Rose Petal Donuts). This drink is a fantastic color of pink and a great cocktail to serve at any springtime gathering! With both Cinco De Mayo and the Kentucky Derby celebrations happening this weekend, this delightful libation will be the hit of any party. Cheers!
