Wine is always and forever my first love when it comes to a relaxing drink at home. However, we also enjoy creating cocktails for fun evenings at home with friends. This fun and festive wine margarita is a great example!

I think this festive peach – toned drink is ideal for baby and wedding showers, summertime fiestas, and even Cinco de Mayo celebrations. They are easy to customize to your tastes, with fresh, simple ingredients.

Hosting a crowd? Easily multiply the ingredients in this recipe to create more. If one wine margarita is good, a pitcher is probably better!

Ingredients and Substitutions to Make Rosé Margaritas

  • Orange Liqueur – Grand Marnier is a cognac based orange liqueur. You can use that one or whatever type of orange liqueur you can find.
  • Lime Juice – Fresh squeezed lime juice is always best! There’s just something better about the vibrant flavor. However, you can use store bought lime juice in a pinch- I’ll never tell!
  • Tequila – Any type of blanco tequila works beautifully here… you can learn more in my Tequila Guide.
  • Wine – We used a pink rosé wine in this recipe for the pretty color! Choose your favorite white wine or rosé for this recipe.

Variations

  • Try with your favorite type of wine or make a Champagne Margarita with some bubbles!
  • Replace the lime juice with fresh squeezed grapefruit juice and the orange liqueur with grapefruit soda for wine Paloma!
  • Serve over ice.
  • Serve blended – just toss ingredients with a cup of ice into your blender!

How to Make this Wine Margarita in just Two Easy Steps

  1. Prep – Gather ingredients and ice.
  2. Shake or Stir – Combine in a shaker with ice for one or two cocktails, or in a pitcher for a crowd.

Tips

  • Make a Pitcher – Use the sliding bar for servings in the printable recipe card to automatically multiply each ingredient!
  • Crushed Ice – Sometimes, it’s the little things. While crushed ice is not necessary for a margarita, it really makes such a difference! Check out our favorite nugget ice maker.
  • Fresh Juice – Of course you can buy premade lime juice in the produce section. But you’ll be so glad you went to the extra step of squeezing the limes, and it’s easy to make the juice ahead for Margarita Mix and store it before a party!
  • Quality Tequila – This really does make a world of difference. Don’t skip my complete Tequila Guide for all the best options!
  • Shake – Instead of stirring. A cocktail shaker can be a fun change. It’s a bit more formal for shaking or stirring your margarita.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you mix wine and margaritas?

You can, and you should… if you’re making this delicious wine margarita cocktail, that is!

Is Cointreau the same as Triple Sec?

The two can be substituted for each other in cocktails, but they are not *quite* the same. Cointreau is in the family of Triple Sec (dry orange liqueurs). Triple Sec is the family / category itself, and also the name of the less expensive version of orange liqueur. Cointreau is smoother, stronger and more complex.

  2. Mix lime juice, orange liqueur and tequila ahead of time. Add wine just before serving!
