5 Margaritas to Try on Cinco de Mayo

I've never been much of a mixed drink guy. Not out of any prejudice against them, I just... never got into them, really.

For those of you who love bananas, there's this recipe for a banana margarita. Frankly, that sounds absolutely disgusting to me, but I figured I'd throw it in there because my tastes aren't usually representative of anyone else, so maybe you'd love it.
