Here are my favorite easy tequila cocktails from the classic Margarita recipe to the Tequila Sunrise to the Tequila and Tonic, plus so many more twists that every day feels like Cinco de Mayo!
Thought of Tequila as only a drink had in shots? Well, you’ve done that wrong. Although the Margarita is the most popular tequila cocktail, it never seems to get the respect it deserves. I am a huge fan of tequila and I am so happy it is one of the spirits of the moment.
Easy Tequila Cocktails
This easy classic cocktail recipe screams summer! With a side of chips and salsa, the classic Margarita is really the perfect cocktail.
With or without the salt rim, the combination of tequila with fresh lime juice and orange liqueur (Triple Sec or Cointreau) is Mexico in a cocktails. The traditional recipe is with blanco tequila, but use whatever you wish.
You'll need a cocktail shaker for this one and a Margarita or coupe glass. Garnish with a lime wedge or a lime wheel!
Who is Tommy and why does he have his own margarita? Simply put, Tommy’s Margarita is the same as the original recipe, except using agave syrup instead of the orange liqueur. It was invented in San Francisco, but has conquered the world!
You'll need a cocktail shaker for this one and I like it over ice cubes in a rocks glass. Garnish with a lime wedge or a lime wheel!
Are you Gin and Tonic-ed out? Well, I am having El Rayo’s Tequila & Tonic (or ‘T&T’) this summer. El Rayo was launched by childhood friends Tom Bishop and Jack Vereker.
They had become agave-obsessed after opening a bottle of Añejo tequila brought back from travels to Mexico. They’ve teamed up with Maestro Tequilero Oscar Garcia and developed El Rayo.
Served in a highball glass over loads of ice and garnished with a grapefruit wedge.
The Tequila Mule takes the Moscow Mule and brings it down south. Replace the vodka with tequila and you have one delicious cocktail!
The combination of watermelon and tequila, plus a bit of watermelon liqueur make this easy shot recipe the perfect summer cooler!
Halloween is here and there is no better way to kick off spooky season than sipping on terrifyingly black cocktail using Hornitos Tequila!
An El Sueño twist on the classic Tommy's Margarita cocktail recipe!
Hornitos and DeKuyper Triple Sec Liqueur have created a Spicy Cucumber Margarita for anyone looking for a twist on the signature marg.
Want to add a bit more depth to your Margarita? Make it a Hennessy Margarita! Cognac adds that extra zing that works so well with lime and tequila.
