10 Easy Margarita Recipes to Sip

If there's one more thing we love about this drink: It's an ideal blank canvas for customizing beyond the usual tequila + triple sec + lime formula.

Here are 10 margarita recipes to try.

CLASSIC
MARGARITAS

OK, we couldn't resist including the classic marg. This version uses freshly squeezed lime juice instead of sour mix (worth the effort).

BEER MARGARITA

When you want the crispiness of a cold pilsner but the tartness of a cocktail, look no further than this hybrid drink.

CRANBERRY
MARGARITAS

Who said this cocktail was just for warmer months? Adding cranberry juice makes it festive and slightly fruity.

SANGRITA

One part margarita, one part sangria and totally crowd-pleasing. You can use a sweet or dry red wine, whichever you prefer.

SPICY
MARGARITA

A hint of serrano chile pepper and Tajín seasoning give this cocktail just enough kick, but won't make your eyes water or nose run with every sip.

THE MODERN PROPER

5

REFINED SUGAR-FREE MARGARITAS

Instead of the typical triple sec, you can substitute fresh orange juice & a touch of maple syrup to eliminate the refined sugar in your drink.

PINEAPPLE
MARGARITA

The combination of pineapple, orange and lime juices tastes like a tropical vacay in a glass. Add Tajín or chili powder for spiciness, if you want.

SKINNY MARGARITAS

We love Gaby Dalkin's take on the low-sugar cocktail. She uses fresh citrus juice, plus a touch of agave and sparkling water to balance the drink.

FROZEN BLUEBERRY
MARGARITAS

You don't have to wait for blueberry season to make these fresh, frosty drinks. A bag of frozen berries will do just fine.
