Notes

  • Always use fresh juice: While you can use store-bought orange juice, fresh citrus juice will brighten up the flavors and make your drink that much better.
  • Use a fun salt combination to spice things up: Regular coarse sea salt is always great on the rim, but you can make things extra fun by using ancho chili salt or even salt mixed with lime zest. Get creative and have fun!
  • Always serve extra cold: No one likes warm tequila. Keep it in your freezer and shake it up in this Margarita Recipe for the ultimate frosty sip.
  • Is a frozen margarita more your speed?: Blend with ice for the ultimate cold treat this Summer. Add in a bit more juice to brighten things up even more.
  • Nutritional information does not include optional ingredients.
Storage: Store skinny margaritas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
