Every Cinco De Mayo, I can't help but remember one of the most fun and elegantly designed weddings that I ever had the privilege of working on. At their wedding, Mr. & Mrs. Crawford (Ms Lil Hoot) just so happened to have the tastiest and most decadent margaritas EVER!! All I have to do is close my eyes and I can hear the mariachis in the background, taste the salt on my lips and voila..I am there. Ok...so I didn't really get to have one that day as I was working, but I know where to get one whenever I want... Mrs. Crawford's sister and brother-in-law, who formally owned Zavalas in New London, now have Milagros in Stonington. Trust me folks, these are not your ordinary margaritas...with flavors like hibiscus and honeydew, they have certainly taken it to another level. Through the grapevine over the years, I have been told that they are the best margaritas in Connecticut...

Maybe you should try for yourself...

What are you waiting for...

Today is the perfect day!!
