The secret behind the show's margarita drinks was shared by Sweet Magnolias' author Sherryl Woods. The cousin's margarita recipe, which spurred the drinks in her novels and the series, adds a strong punch to any gathering. Woods stresses that these evenings featuring margaritas were always more about camaraderie, hearty discussions, mutual support, and laughter than just great drinks.
