Lemonade Margaritas

Use pink lemonade instead of regular lemonade for a pretty pink margarita.

For a different flavor, try using flavored lemonade or adding other fruit juices like orange or cranberry.

Adjust the sweetness of the drink by adding a simple syrup or agave nectar to taste.

Experiment with different types of salt for the rim, such as sea salt or flavored salts for a unique twist.

To make a spicy margarita, muddle jalapenos or add a dash of hot sauce to the mixture before blending.

Garnish with fresh herbs like mint or basil for a refreshing herbal aroma.

Try adding a splash of sparkling wine or champagne for a bubbly twist on the classic margarita.

What type of tequila should I use for lemonade margaritas?

For lemonade margaritas, you can use any type of tequila you prefer. Silver or blanco tequila works well for a clean flavor, while reposado or anejo tequila can add a smoother, aged taste.

Can I make this drink ahead of time for a party?

You can make a large batch of the margarita mixture ahead of time and keep it refrigerated until ready to serve. Just blend it again before pouring into glasses, as it may separate.

Can I make this without a blender?

If you don't have a blender, you can mix all the ingredients except the ice and serve the drink over ice (on the rocks) in individual glasses.
