- 3 oz. Margarita Agave Mixer
- Ice
- Cocktail Rimmer Lime Salt
- Lemon slices, for garnish
- Optional: splash of sparkling water for a lighter margarita
How to Make a Margarita
1. Rim your glass.
Run a lemon or lime wedge around the edge of your glass, then dip the rim into the Cocktail Rimmer Lime Salt. The citrus-infused salt adds a bright, tangy finish to every sip.
2. Fill with ice.
Add plenty of ice to your glass or cocktail shaker.
3. Add the tequila and margarita mixer.
Pour 2 ounces of tequila and 3 ounces of Margarita Agave Mixer over the ice. If you’re using a cocktail shaker, shake well until chilled.
4. Pour and garnish.
Pour into your prepared glass and finish with a lemon slice for a fresh citrus garnish.
5. Make it your own.
For a lighter, bubbly margarita, add a splash of sparkling water. You can also serve it over fresh ice for an easy on-the-rocks margarita.
The Secret to an Easy Homemade Margarita
The key to a great margarita at home is keeping the ingredients simple. A quality margarita mixer takes care of the citrus and sweetness, allowing you to focus on the tequila, ice, and finishing touches.
Our Margarita Agave Mixer is designed to deliver a fresh, homemade margarita taste with no complicated ingredients or prep. The 16-ounce bottle is perfect for keeping on hand for spontaneous happy hours, entertaining, or your next taco night.
And don’t underestimate the rim. Our Cocktail Rimmer Lime Salt adds a bold citrus flavor and creates that classic margarita presentation with a bright, flavorful finish.
Perfect for Arizona Happy Hour
Living in Arizona means there’s almost always a good reason for a margarita. Poolside afternoons, backyard dinners, girls’ nights, Taco Tuesday, housewarming parties, or a casual evening with friends all call for a refreshing cocktail.
Set out your margarita ingredients, add a bowl of citrus garnishes, and let everyone make their own. It’s an easy way to turn a simple happy hour into a fun entertaining moment.
Turn Margarita Night Into a Gift
A margarita cocktail kit also makes a thoughtful housewarming gift, hostess gift, birthday gift, realtor closing gift, or Arizona-inspired gift. Pair margarita essentials together for a ready-to-enjoy cocktail experience that feels personal and fun.
