A basic margarita includes tequila, triple sec, and lime juice either blended or on the rocks with a rim of salt. This often goes with your favorite tacos or other Mexican recipes. However, sometimes the margarita is one of the easiest cocktails to mix up with special ingredients and bring exciting flavors to the table.

If you are familiar with the bartending of margarita recipes, you will be able to put these together easily! Take the sugar or salt and place it on a plate so that it can coat the rims of wet margarita glasses when they are dipped in it. Then, you can use a cocktail shaker for margaritas on the rocks or a blender for smoothly frozen drinks. It’s up to you, but each of these recipes makes three delicious margaritas that you can enjoy with friends or family anytime!
