“The fashion was amazing,” says Cardi.) Like much of her music, Cardi just went with her gut: “I like what I like,” she explains simply. (The music video, which cost two million dollars to produce, quickly shot to number one on YouTube. She also talks about her new song, “ Bongos,” with Megan the Stallion. “You see my fit?” Other than the Cardi-Rita, she also shares that her go-to is a “corn street style dip” that she found on Instagram. “When I cook for my man I get sexy,” she says, gesturing to her cut-out top. One: ”When I have friends over or family over.” Two: for her man. This margarita pairs well with foods heavy in seasoning or spice.
The tart taste is cut with a bit of sweetness, allowing a smoother sip. There are only two instances where she cooks, Cardi explains. This margarita combines the crisp, bold flavor of lime with the freshness of agave. In the latest video for Vogue’s series Now Serving, the rapper shares her favorite recipes for entertaining-and, in the process, is utterly entertaining herself. (Although that’s not entirely true: a Cardi-rita also features a creamy topping of Lime Whip Shots-making the already alcoholic concoction just that much more boozy.) Cardi B is characteristically blunt when defining the difference between a margarita and her favorite cocktail to make at home, a “Cardi-rita.” “The difference between a Cardi-rita and a margarita is, you know, I did it,” she says, with a laugh.
