Kittens make everything better. And so do firemen… who can make a good margarita. Here’s a simple recipe (with a twist!) for a margarita using Sauza Blue tequila.

If you were too distracted to get the recipe from the video (I don’t blame you! Did you catch the part where he took his shirt off?!), here it is:
