Recently, PEOPLE spoke to Project Runway judge Nina Garcia about fashion – and fabulous drinks – and Garcia shared her favorite recipe.
She also gave tips for throwing the perfect party – whether it be for Project Runway (when it eventually returns to Lifetime) – or for any other occasion.
Her tip for party-hosts? Make sure there's plenty of food and drinks.
"Put an array of tasting plates with finger foods within reach of every seat and mix a pitcher of margaritas or martinis," Garcia told PEOPLE. "The festivities ... will proceed seamlessly if the food and drinks flow freely all night."
Garcia's drink of choice? A frozen fruit margarita. Want to make it yourself? Here's the recipe:
Frozen Fruit Margarita
