• No Mexican feast would be complete without a jug or two of margaritas. The sweet, slightly bitter tang of the grapefruit works well and is a beautiful splash of colour on the table

    LEILA’S TIP
    I love adding a few fresh mint sprigs to the carafe as well as some sliced lime wedges to make it look pretty.
