Top Margarita Recipes for National Margarita Day

Just in time for National Margarita Day on February 22nd, we’ve put together our favorite margarita recipes for you to blend up and celebrate.  For all recipes you will need tequila (unless you make a virgin variation), ice, and a frozen margarita machine – let’s get blending! 

1. Classic Margarita

We’ll start with your classic margarita recipe. In addition to your ice and margarita machine you will need:

• 4.5oz of tequila
• 1.5oz of citrus liqueur
• 3oz of lime juice
• .5oz of simple syrup 

To blend, fill up the ice compartment of your margarita machine and pour the liquid ingredients into the blender. Your machine will handle all of the work by shaving the ice and blending the liquid together to create the perfect sour and sweet slushie. If you’d like, you can add a salted rim to your glass for additional flavor contrast. 

2. Spicy Margarita

For those that prefer a little more heat in their beverages, this spicy margarita is for you! Here are the ingredients you will need for this blended drink: 

• 3oz of tequila 
• 1.5oz of citrus liqueur
• 1.5oz of pepper or jalapeno liqueur
• 1 pinch of chipotle chile powder
• 1 splash of simple syrup
• 3oz of lime juice
• Fresh jalapenos and limes

Add your liquid ingredients and the chile powder to the blender and your ice to the ice compartment. Hit start or blend on your margarita machine; once your drink is blended, pour it in your glasses with a salt or spicy salt garnish complemented by jalapeno and lime slices. 

3. Mango Margarita 

Celebrate the coming of summer with this frozen mango margarita recipe! You can whip this up as a completely sweet treat, or add a chile and salt rim for a nice contrast. You will need:

• 2 cups of frozen mango chunks
• 3oz of tequila 
• 1oz of triple sec
• 2 juiced limes (or the bottle equivalent)
• 1-2 tablespoons of agave nectar

Add the mango pieces and liquid ingredients to the blender portion of your machine and the ice to your machine’s ice compartment. Once the drinks are blended, salt or sugar your rim and enjoy!

4. Strawberry Margarita

Another classic combination, a strawberry margarita is both the perfect drink with apps or as a dessert option. To make it at home you will need:

• 4.5oz of tequila
• 1.5oz lime juices
• 3oz of frozen strawberries
• 3oz of strawberry daiquiri mix
• 1 splash of strawberry or berry liqueur

As with all our recipes, take your liquid ingredients and add them to your blender jar. Once your ice is in the ice compartment, press blend and add the drinks to your glasses. Because the strawberry mixture will be sweet, you can use either sugar or salt on the rim.
