Simply salt the rim! A pretty rimmed cocktail glass goes a long way!
As a fun addition, consider adding a little spice to your salt. Add some chili powder or pepper for a fun kick.
Sliced fruit! Think limes, lemons, cherries, watermelon, pineapple, mango, the list goes on.
Basil, rosemary or mint sprigs work beautifully with a variety of margarita flavors.
Jalapeños or any kind of pretty peppers are such a fun addition!
Notes
Chill tequila for best presentation.
If you’re worried the tequila will be too strong, add a splash of water.
Rim the glass with salt for classic margarita flavor, or rim it with sugar for a sweeter profile.
Ideally, your margarita should not ever be overly sweet, as this takes away the flavor of the tequila and other ingredients. Allow the fresh, wholesome ingredients to shine!
