Originally from Mexico, this combination of tequila, triple sec and lime juice is sharp, tangy and unique. We’ve rounded up a trio of delicious Margarita recipes to wow your guests.
Frozen Margarita:
First, fill a blender with ice cubes and blitz until you’ve got frozen slush. Add the Tequila, Triple Sec and Lime Juice and blitz again before pouring into glasses. Serve with a wedge of lime.

Cucumber and Jalapeño Infused Margarita:
For an exotic twist on the classic, infuse your margarita mix with spicy jalapeños and cool cucumber. Combine the Tequila, lime juice, Cointreau and sugar syrup with 4 cucumber slices and a red jalapeño chilli, halved. Chill for at least one hour. Dip the rims of your glasses in lime juice and freshly then ground salt. Garnish with a slice of cucumber and extra chilli.

Creamy Margarita Ice Lollies:
First combine the lime juice, water, tequila, condensed milk and orange juice in a large pitcher and mix well. Line up your paper cups on a baking tray and fill each one about 50% full of the mixture. Next take a ¼ inch slice of lime, push a lollie stick halfway through, and place into the top of the cup to make a handle. Make sure the lime slice completely touches the liquid. Next freeze the popsicles for at least 6 hours. To serve gently snip into the cup with scissors and peel away the paper.
