RECIPE ROUNDUP: TEQUILA MOCKINGBIRD
Summer is still in full swing, so grab the cocktail shaker. It’s Recipe Roundup time, and today, tequila is the star of the show. Whether you’re a margarita fan, a Paloma lover, or someone who just learned there is more than one color of tequila, consider this roundup a love letter to tequila cocktails that go far beyond lime and salt. Because somewhere a pool lounger is calling…
Hot Pink Malibu Coconut Margarita
Bold, neon, and ready for the Instagram grid. With Malibu and coconut, this cocktail is practically begging for a sunny day by the pool.
Pineapple Margarita Delight
Pineapple strikes again! This one is bold, tangy, and slushy. Perfect for sipping poolside with a salted rim.
Italian Margarita
Forget the Aperol Spritz. Give your drink passport a stamp with this citrusy, bright, and slightly nutty margarita.
Spicy Marg
My favorite tequila is 818, so you know their cocktails are 100. This one is smooth, balanced, and backing just enough heat. It’s the cool-kid margarita.
Hot Pink Rosé Margarita
Pretty and floral, this cocktail evokes the vibe of a cocktail in the garden, complete with a wide-brimmed hat. The rosé adds a delicate twist that feels chic without trying too hard.
Italian Strawberry Basil Margarita
This one feels like a farmer’s market in a glass. Fresh berries, fragrant basil, and a hint of tequila. Afternoon party approved.
Casamigas Spicy Jalapeño Margarita
A margarita with a bite in the best way. Jalapeño brings the heat, the lime juice keeps it bright, and tequila ties it all together. A cocktail with a little sass? Yes please.
La Piña Margarita
Sweet, tropical, and easy to sip. Pineapple juice softens the tequila’s edge so this cocktail feels like sunshine in a glass.
Margarita Slushie
Slushie machines aren’t just for kids. This one shows you that the frosty, brain-freeze nostalgia is worth it if there is tequila involved.
Pineapple Coconut Margarita
Creamy coconut, tart pineapple, and tequila are the perfect combination for a tropical paradise. It’s giving piña colada and margarita, baby.
Whipped Margarita
A margarita with unexpected ingredients, all culminating in a drink that seems like a frozen cloud that tastes like a summer vacation.
Limoncello Margarita
If Italy and Mexico met at a bar, you’d get this bright, lemony drink that will instantly make you feel like you’re on the Amalfi Coast.
Spicy Margarita
Not for the faint of heart. This one amps up the jalapeño while keeping the classic margarita backbone intact.
