How to Make Margaritas with Mix
It can be as simple as just adding tequila + triple sec or fancy as making it blended and flavored! THIS is our favorite margarita recipe. For one margarita, combine 1 1/2 oz margarita mix, 1 1/2 oz tequila, and 3/4 oz triple sec over ice and stir gently for a margarita on the rocks, or combine in a blender and blend until smooth for a blended drink. To make a pitcher of margaritas, simply increase ingredients to 1 1/4 cup margarita mix, 1 1/4 cup tequila, and 1/2 cup triple sec. Try our Pineapple Margarita and Strawberry Margarita. Don’t forget to salt (or sugar) the rim!
