Cilantro-lime Margaritas
Skip the sugary margarita mix and welcome the warmer weather with this twist on a classic margarita. This is a great use for cilantro stems, which have all the flavor of cilantro, but are often overlooked.
Watermelon-Mint Margarita
Fresh mint is, without a doubt, one of our favorite flavors. Whether it's a handful left from the farmers' market or a bumper crop of your own, use leftover leaves to create a new twist on the classic margarita.
Honeydew-Jalapeño Margaritas
Meet your new favorite poolside cocktail. This slushy sipper offers sweet, floral honeydew flavor with a nice slow burn from jalapeño-infused tequila.
Cantaloupe Margarita with Hint of Mint
Want to make a bigger batch? Doubling the melon should yield enough juice to make 6 drinks. Process and strain in 2 batches, and then mix up 3 times the rest of the ingredients in a pitcher.
Blueberry Margaritas
To get a half-salted rim, you'll need to start with a tablespoon of salt—but only about 1 teaspoon ends up sticking to the glasses.
Mezcal Margarita
Mezcal gets its signature smoky flavor from the slow-roasted and distilled hearts of agave plants.
Roasted Strawberry Margaritas with Aquafaba Whip
Aquafaba, the viscous fluid from canned chickpeas, is the surprising key to making a plant-based whipped topping. The process is pretty miraculous: The liquid whips up to a thick, fluffy foam that mimics whipped cream. Just be sure to use the liquid from unsalted chickpeas for the best results (we like Eden brand).
Chile-Agave Margarita
If you really like heat, don't seed the chile before muddling. Tender-tongued? Skip muddling; just shake and strain.
Classic Margarita
Hint: Our nutrition guidelines don't allow for it, but this is easily doubled. Use respectable tequila ($28 or so a bottle) and fresh-squeezed lime juice—the ingredients define this cocktail as much as the technique.
Blackberry Margaritas
The perfect way to welcome guests to a dinner party—an ice-cold Blackberry Margarita.
Champagne Mango Margaritas
Champagne mangoes have a deep golden color and are sweeter and tangier than their larger cousins. Here they make for a boozy, summer treat with triple sec and tequila.
Cucumber, Honey & Thyme Margarita Slush
This simple margarita comes together in no time flat. The cucumber infuses the slush with a cool flavor, which balances the sweet notes from honey at the end of each sip.
Hibiscus-Lemon Margarita
Club soda is unconventional in margaritas, but the added sparkle elevates this drink. Look for dried hibiscus flowers in Latin markets where chiles and spices are found.
