Oh, tequila. How do we love thee? Let us count (hiccup) the ways…

A pitcher and two glasses of blue margarita on a grey woven placemat.
This blue margarita recipe, made with Curaçao, tequila, triple sec, and ice, is named for the Caribbean island and its brilliant waters.
Recipe
Three glasses of ultimate margarita with lime wedges.
This ultimate margarita is made with tequila, agave, and lime juice. Nothing else. It isn’t the classic margarita. It’s unspeakably better. So much so that we think it’s the best. So does everyone else who’s tasted it and gone back for seconds.

Recipe
A glass filled with margarita granita, topped with a lime sprig and a spoon resting in the glass.
This margarita granita, made with frozen tequila, orange and lime juice, and Cointreau, is for those evenings when you can’t decide between summer cocktail and dessert. Why decide?!
Recipe
A chile-spiked margarita on a linen cocktail napkin with a lime wedge on the side and a whole green chile in the drink.
This take on a traditional margarita is not only delicious but stunning to behold. Tequila blanco (aka silver tequila) is a style of tequila bottled immediately after it’s distilled from the agave plant. It pairs well with chips and salsa, chips and guac, or pretty much any other Mexican-inspired snacks.
Recipe
A cranberry margarita in a short glass with a skewer or sugared cranberries and orange zest across the top.
This cranberry margarita makes a spiked cocktail for any occasion, whether Thanksgiving, Christmas, or a summer afternoon. The swizzle sticks aren’t essential yet add a little lovely bling.
