Tips for the Best Margarita

• Chill your glasses: Pop them in the freezer for 10–15 minutes beforehand to keep your drinks colder for longer.
• Shake well: Don’t skip the shake! Vigorously shaking the cocktail ensures everything is well mixed and properly chilled.
• Use plenty of ice: Margaritas are best served ice cold. Fill the glass at least ¾ of the way for a perfect pour.
• Taste and adjust: Depending on your ingredients, you may want to tweak the balance. Add a touch more peach juice for extra sweetness or a dash more spicy mix for heat.
• Garnish with care: A fresh peach wedge and lime wheel not only look great, but also complement the flavours of the drink beautifully.
• Don’t forget to drink responsibly!

Ingredients & Substitutions

Tequila – A good-quality blanco (silver) tequila works well for a clean, crisp flavour. If you prefer something with more depth, try a reposado.

Grand Marnier – Adds a subtle orange flavour and a touch of sweetness. Triple sec or Cointreau can be used instead.

Spicy Margarita mix – You can use a pre-made mix or create your own by combining lime juice, orange juice, and a splash of jalapeño or chilli-infused syrup.

Peach juice – Fresh peach juice offers the best flavour, but bottled works just fine. For something a bit different, try using white peach or even mango juice for a variation.

Tajín seasoning – This spicy chilli-lime seasoning is perfect for rimming your glass. If unavailable, a mix of chilli powder and salt will do.

Simple syrup – Used to help the Tajín (or salt/sugar) stick to the rim. You can also use agave syrup or honey in a pinch.
