Faithful Margarita

It's Cinco de Mayo! A celebration of victory! According to Wikipedia, this battle "was significant in that the 4,000 Mexican soldiers were greatly outnumbered by the well-equipped French army of 8,000 that had not been defeated for almost 50 years." Despite the odds, Mexico won!  Today tortilla chips, salsa and margaritas are polished off and downed, in this days' observance. I'm enjoying a margarita in honor of Mexico's victorious history while taking in some positive thoughts for the future. The faith that the Mexican army had, was greater than they were in number, and I think that is what bought them to victory. I'm taking this night to ponder on great faith and miraculous outcomes. Cheers to that!

• 2 oz. Tequila
• 2oz. Pear Liqueur
• 4 oz. ginger ale
• juice of 1/2 lime
• 2 teaspoons agave syrup
• 3 raspberries, smashed with a fork
• salt flakes

Combine all the ingredients, except for the salt. Sometimes I like my drinks "chunky" lol, but if you don't, you can omit the raspberries. Run the rim of the margarita glass with the lime and dip in the salt flakes. Pour your drink into the glass, and let the deep thoughts of faith and victory flow.
