Classic Margarita

Of course, we’re going to be talking about the classic margarita. It’s one of the most famous cocktails in the world! Knowing how to make this is a must.

Meaning ‘daisy’ in Spanish, this drink is a mix of three essentials in every home bar– tequila, triple sec, and lime. The tequila used more often for this is a blanco or a silver. But, if you want smoother, more caramel-like notes, you can swap it out for a Codigo 1530 Reposado Tequila.

While the best quality ingredients are always a plus, the trick to making this cocktail worth every sip is all in the ratio.

How to make the drink:

• Rub the rims of your glass with coarse sea salt.
• Pour in 2 oz. tequila, 1 oz. triple sec, and ¾ oz lime juice.
• Stir it up and maybe add a little garnish of lime wedges.

Long Island Iced Tea

Want a more wholesome-looking cocktail? You can never go wrong with an alcohol-infused iced tea. A pitcher of Long Island Iced Tea is a simple drink you can serve your guests. But it’s not as simple as you might think. Maybe a simple mix of powdered iced tea and tequila tickles your fancy but it’s more than that.

While it does look like an easy cocktail to try at home, the more elevated version of this drink holds up to a whopping 5 alcohols! It’s a mix of gin, white rum, tequila, vodka, and triple sec all in one sip.

How to make the drink:

• Make a sour mix with sugar, lemon juice, lime juice, and grapefruit juice.
• Pour the sour mix and an ounce of tequila, gin, triple sec, vodka, and white rum into a cocktail shaker.
• Shake it all up then top it with Coca-Cola and lemon wedges.

Tequila Sunrise

Treat your midweek party like a little vacation. Why not? It is! It’s a simple unwinding down with great company and great drinks. So, if you and your friends feel like celebrating with a tequila sunrise cocktail, do it! You don’t have to be on vacation to enjoy this drink.

Plus, it’s very easy to make so you don’t have to sweat it when you host your party. It only needs three ingredients–orange juice, tequila, and grenadine. All three make up the colors of a beautiful sunrise in a glass.

How to make the drink:

• Add your orange juice and tequila. Then mix it up.
• Slowly pour in your red grenadine.
• To make that perfect gradient, stir slowly to blend the colors.

Bulldog Margarita

For those who love beer or maybe have extra bottles at hand, you don’t have to set it aside for National Tequila Day. You can enjoy those spirits together with a bulldog margarita.

Mexico is not only known for its great tequila. From the classic Patron tequila to artisanal Montelobos tequila, they are also known for really, really good beer– Corona! That is why this cocktail is also known as a Mexican coronita. Making this drink is pretty simple.

How to make the drink:

• In a blender, mix in ice, lime juice, tequila, and orange liqueur.
• Salt the rim of the glass then pour in the frozen margarita mixture.
• Top it off with a Coronita dunked into the mix.

Pineapple Margarita

The third margarita in this article is the pineapple margarita. Pineapple is one of those flavors that truly bring in the tropical summer vibes. While it is the rainy season here in the Philippines, you can taste the feeling of a vacation in this cocktail.

Blanco is always the go-to tequila for any margarita. But if you want a more smoky and earthy taste, you can swap it out with 400 Conejos Mezcal Tequila. It’s also one of those drinks you can whip up in a batch.

How to make this drink:

• Add pineapple juice, tequila, lime juice, and triple sec concoction in a resealable glass jar.
• Fill the jar with ice and shake vigorously to mix it all up.
• Pour into your cocktail glasses and garnish with cheeky lime and pineapple wedges.
